I have a video filefield that I'm transcoding with Video module. Once I've attached a video file to a node and transcoded it, if I delete the node, both the transcoded video (FLV) and the source file are deleted from the file system, leaving the system clean. But if I edit the node and merely remove the file, it deletes the FLV but not the source file, leaving an orphaned file, obviously.

Yes, I got the thing, as I feel I may not use filefield hooks properly!!. I will fix it soon :)

I will be reworking this area in 4.x-dev. I am thinking on how to hold the original and then tie the converted module to it. Then removing everything accordingly.
