How to remove local file when remove file button was pressed? about flask-dropzone HOT 4 CLOSED

Sorry for taking so long. This feature is not implemented currently, but your can make it by yourself. First, register the event listeners with JavaScript:

Dropzone.options.myAwesomeDropzone = {
    success: function(file, response) {
        file.serverFileName = response.file_name;  // pass filename
    },
    removedfile: function (file, data) {  // triggered when remove file button was clicked
        $.ajax({  // send AJAX request to Flask to remove file
            type:'POST',
            url:'/deletefile',
            data : {"filename" : file.serverFileName},  // pass filename
            success : function (data) {
                alert('File removed from server.')
            }
        });
    }
};

Then, create the view function to delete file with Flask:

@app.route('/deletefile')
def delete_file():
    filename = request.form['filename']
    file_path = os.path.join(your_upload_path, filename)
    os.remove(file_path)

Not test yet, let me know if it works ;)
