Magento PHP Expert

General information for the website: NA
Description of requirements/features: I have a Magento site i am working on that when i upload a image into a folder it removed old images from that folder.

I spoke to my webhost who told me this

Hi Phil,

strace shows PHP performing an unlink() system call on 420.jpg when 423.jpg is uploaded:

[pid 49218] unlink("/home/biancamosca/public_html/media/catalog/productoptions/40/59/420.jpg") = 0

So something in the Magento code is purposefully removing this file. If you believe this to be a bug, I recommend that you report it to the Magento developers.

Any ideas how to fix this?
