It will add more confusion if people discuss a patch/screenshot in the notes and you delete that patch later on. Traceability and history is important in bug reports.

Hi,

Why can't the reporter of a Mantis report, delete old and unused attachments? Having irrelevant attachments lying around in a report just add confusion.

Please adjust "reporter" permissions so we can delete our own attachments.

Reading or applying the wrong (old) patch(s) is confusing too.

Alternatively, is there a way to archive or hide old attachments in Mantis
- so they are only accessible via advanced view or some other view option?

This history is at the bottom of the patch so there's no reason to be confused, imo. If you really upload a jpg of your pet crocodile instead of a patch, a developer/manager/administrator can delete attachments (that's the default permissions settings in our mantis anyway).

Not that I know of.
