Description
CCK: 5.x-1.6-1
Imagefield: 5.x-1.1
I had one image field on my site, set on one content type.
I deleted the field.
I expected the image files uploaded to this field to be deleted from my server's directory, but they are still there.

Yeah CCK doesn't let modules know this is happening... CCK will have to be updated upstream I can probably put something in place after the 6.x ports are done.
#2
We can now do this with CCK 2.x in Drupal 6. Here's the relevant code from content_field_instance_delete():
<?php// Invoke hook_content_fieldapi().
module_invoke_all('content_fieldapi', 'delete instance', $field);
?>
Moving to FileField since it controls storing the files.

Just upgraded from the Alpha version of this today to 6.x-3.2. In the alpha version if a file was removed, it was also deleted from the server as well. This is not the case with the latest module. This is causing problems with the View I set up. The file should be deleted from the view (like it was in the Alpha version) but it is not.
