I would like to
- completely disable the Private Files functionality for all users but the admin,
- purge all private files of all other users but the admin.
Is this possible?
Several forum discussions and websites exist on that topic. All suggestions I could find are basically disabling the Private Files repository (which I understand only handles whether one can choose to link one's files, but does not affect the actual feature), or prohibiting all related permissions, as listed here: https://www.sysadjournal.com/disable-users-private-files-moodle/
I have done all of steps on that site. Yet, a regular user still sees the Private Files block on his dashboard and can still download a previously uploaded file.
