[Building Sakai] Attachments persist after containing tool and even site have been removed.

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Francois,

This is expected behaviour. No content is deleted when sites are deleted.  The files and assignments will not be accessible after the site is deleted. This is so that you can restore the site if need be and then the content will be available again.

cheers,
Steve
