Neither removing an image from a node or deleting a node removes images from Backdrop. Is there something I'm missing, like a list of redundant images?
@albanycomputers
You can delete images manually through "Content--> manage files ... Try running Cron.
@indigoxela
Deleting unused images (not in use in any node/field/...) happens on cron runs - after a delay.
You can see "candidates" on the files overview on admin/content/files. "Permanent" images won't get deleted, only "Temporary". And only after a grace time (6 hrs by default).
@richarda78
... yeah I'm pretty sure I looked at manage files, some help text would be great.
I thought that perhaps adding some help text above the file list might help. Here's an initial suggestion for discussion and word smithing:
When the use count of a file drops to 0 (not used anywhere on the site), its status automatically changes from "Permanent" to "Temporary". Files flagged as temporary are then deleted approximately within 6 hours if they remain unused.
