Uploadify: How to remove uploaded items from queue

Question

I'm trying to Uploadify to clear an upload queue as well as delete the uploaded files. The problem is this. If I upload 5 files (with an `uploadLimit` of 5 set), they upload the first time. But if I clear the queue using this: `Clear Upload Queue` it removes the files visually from the screen, but I still can't uploaded any more files. I tried using: `jQuery('#attachment').uploadify('settings', 'uploadLimit', 5)` in `onQueueClear` but it doesn't reset the `uploadLimit`. How can I reset the `uploadLimit` after the queue has been cleared?

I failed to find out-of-the-box solution too.The `cancel` method affects only not yet uploaded files.

I suggest you can have a custom handler for deleting an uploaded file (or all files). Somewhere near `unlink` call. And you can - not reset `uploadLimit` to 5 but increase `uploadLimit` by removed files count.

But the uploadify object still have information about uploaded files - that means if the user would try to load the same files he will get the warning message about duplicate files. You can clear this collection:

```
var files = $('#attachment').data('uploadify').queueData.files = [];
for (var member in files) delete files[member];
```

It is may be not correct to use it from your code but you can extend the plugin.
