When I delete a node containing a PDF file and PDFPreview-generated image, the PDF file was correctly removed, but the PDFPreview-generated image remains, and I can't delete it.

If I removed an attached file, or delete an node with an associated PDFPreview-generated image, shouldn't the image be removed too? Otherwise, how do I remove it?

Removing images is not implemented yet. I'm sure it has to be done on file deletion, so when you remove a file from a field, the corresponding preview is also removed.

I will set the priority to high.

Thanks, that would be very useful. As a workaround, I am using the IMCE file manager to delete the image, as FTP will not let me due to incorrect permissions.

Probably your drupal generated files have different owner because your web server is not running with the same user you use to upload your files, this is a very common problem on shared hosting. If you are concerned about security, try to open other users folders, if you didn't get a "open_basedir_resctriction" error, change hosting.

Now images are removed when you remove the original file deleting the node or deleting the file from the node. It is archieved using hook_file_delete.

Excellent, I'll download the update and give it a try.
