If the post is deleted the images should get moved to tombstone, but if you want it to happen immediately, In [this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-delete-a-part-of-an-archived-forum-odt-file/111466/2) I say how to do it. You can’t do it from Discourse. You’ll need to get Bart to do it from the command line.
