Replaces files automatically which have the same file name and are stored within the same folder

Ironikus

WordPress does not overwrite files that have the same name. Instead, it appends a number or random value at the end of it to make it unique: 
filename.png will be turned to filename-1.png
If you do not want that, this plugin is for you. Instead of adding it as a separate file, it will replace the file if it is within the same folder. 
Here’s a list of all the available features:
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Overwrite files that have the same name within the same folder</li>
<li>Compatible with Windows Azure integration and other plugins</li>
<li>Custom setting to automatically copy the data from the old file (Title, Caption, Alt text, description, metadata)</li>
</ul>
PLEASE NOTE: After a file is replaced, the old file is still visible within the media window. Once you refresh, it is gone.
