 * Is it possible not to save attachments, as sensitive data could end up in the
   media library?

 * This helps me:
 * add_filter( ‘cfdb7_before_save_data’, function ( $form_data ) {
 * $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
   $cfdb7_dirname = $upload_dir[‘basedir’] . ‘/cfdb7_uploads’;
   foreach ( $form_data as $key => $val ) {if ( str_contains( $key, ‘cfdb7_file’)){
   $file = $cfdb7_dirname . ‘/’ . $val;unset( $form_data[ $key ] );unlink( $file);}}
 * return $form_data;
   } );
