Asset import XML file is not deleted when the asset is delete permanently

[tabad]

The environment

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo)
  • GLPI v9.2.3
    • FusionInventory for GLPI v9.2+2.0
    • ...and other plugins

This is the information about system installation and configuration.

Note: It's very probably this bug exists in previous FI4G versions.

The issue

Whatever asset imported inside GLPI by FI4G (a computer, a network device, a network printer, etc.) has associated a XML file under the files/_plugins/fusioninventory/xml directory that contains information (information that is sent by FIA) about it. This is an example of files/_plugins/fusioninventory/xml for three assets.

[root@ilab glpi]# tree files/_plugins/fusioninventory/xml/
files/_plugins/fusioninventory/xml/
├── computer
│   └── 0
│       └── 1.xml
├── networkequipment
│   └── 1
│       └── 17.xml
└── printer
    └── 2
        └── 23.xml

Note: This tree structure is true for new FI4G installations (v9.2+2.0 and above). If your system is the result of successive update processes, then you probably have a more similar structure to this one, with XML files without .xml extension.

files/_plugins/fusioninventory/xml/
├── computer
│   └── 0
│       └── 1.xml
├── networkequipment
│   └── 1
│       └── 17.xml
├── NetworkEquipment   <---(*)
│   └── 22
│       └── 229        <---(*)
├── printer
│   └── 2
│       └── 23.xml
└── Printer            <---(*)
    └── 994
        └── 9941       <---(*)

See issue Incorrect structure under '/glpi/files/_plugins/fusioninventory' (#2034).

The problem is that when you perform the massive actions of Delete permanently but keep devices or Delete permanently and remove devices from the dustbin of GLPI, FI4G doesn't remove the XML files of files/_plugins/fusioninventory/xml/. This causes files/_plugins/fusioninventory/xml/ structure to become full of orphaned files over time.

FI4G should remove the import XML files when an asset is delete permanently.
