Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

This has been recently changed, to explicitly not delete the files in ticket #6456. I'm marking it as "won't fix".

Just saw this older ticket: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/6456, it says that this was done intentionally.
So how can someone deal with tests which involve file fields. One can't let the tests create so many files in the directory on each test run.

You can create a temporary directory during setUp of your test case and make sure your storage backend uses it to save files, then delete the directory in tearDown. If you need more details, feel free to ask on django-users.
