I uploaded a few files, then my browser was killed before I save the post, however those already-uploaded files are still in the files directory, and I can not delete them or do anything about them, can I just delete them or do something in the database to clean them before i rewrite the post?
thanks!

tried cron manually, did not clean them up

Try using your host panel file manager to remove them.
check the permissions on the file and if necessary set them to 777 to see if you can delete them.
use update.php removed them, except for one newly item
looks like i need wait for a while then run update.php to remove them...i dare not to delete them directly as that may affect the database?

are they showing on the nodes ?
if so, you can edit and delete the nodes which will remove them from the server.
they're gone now
looks like the cron job will clean it up after a while..thanks!
