Media Library, hook on delete user action

Question

I need to run my function when a user deletes a media file from the media library. Is there a hook I can use?

Would appreciate it if someone could please point me to the right direction.

Thanks!

Answer 1

A more appropriate hook may be delete_attachment($post_id). You may also need to hook edit_attachment. Note that the post_id is that of the attachment type post, not the page/blog post to which the media is attached (if any).

In case you want to know when media is added, hook add_attachment($post_id). Note that add_attachment is called before intermediate size files are generated but after the media has been placed in the upload directory.

Answer 2

Ok, well the before_delete_post hook was the right hook to use. My function works :)
