# [Plugin: TDO Mini Forms] SECURITY WARNING: Personal files deleted

 * I have the TDO Mini Forms plugin on a blog that I have installed locally using
   WAMP. I went to delete a post (using the wordpress CMS) and up came a page of
   errors from TDO Mini Forms php files. The next thing I noticed was my music stops
   playing – on further inspection all my documents files have been DELETED only
   the folders remain. This has really messed up a lot of things for me and I a 
   certain this plugin is to blame, for a plugin to remove and perminantly delete
   personal files is totally unaceptable.
 * I did not manage to note any of the bugs as I closed my browser page before I
   noticed all my personal files had been deleted. An explanation as to how this
   could happen and any help on getting my delted files back would be appriciated,
   I estimate around 40 gig of music files alone was deleted and they don’t appear
   in my recyle bin.

 * Wondering if the same might happen when its uploaded to my web space. Is there
   any risk of it deleting files there aswell??
 * This really needs to be addressed

 * I am aware of the problem and I’ve already created a fix but I haven’t fully 
   tested the release enough. Will be avaliable tomorrow.
 * This problem only occurs on Windows hosts (where the directory separator in file
   path names is ‘\’). It should not affect Linux or Unix hosts (i.e. the vast majority
   of hosts).
 * I’ve posted to the wp-hackers list about the cause of it:

   the dashboard of TDO Mini Forms inside WordPress’ admin as well):
