This is very strange - when I delete an image from the media folder it isn't deleted from the server (or database, or wherever umbraco hides things) and can still be accessed. It's obviously not good to retain a deleted resource (I delete things because I don't want them available). Any idea why this is and how to fix it?
I think the image/media doesn't really get deleted until you remove it from the Recycle Bin. I've noticed that also, if you have have a reference to an image that is later moved to the Recycle Bin, it still works. Not sure if things are supposed to be this way or if it's an oversight...
Perhaps if it's really an issue you could "disable" the recycle bin by writing an event handler to permanently delete the item when it's moved to the bin?
images aren't deleted
