I added over 17000 users to my client’s Discourse installation via the API. I have to delete them now because reasons.

I’ve worked out how to delete the users themselves via the Rails app as explained here: [Bulk delete suspended users after import - #3 by vinothkannans](https://meta.discourse.org/t/bulk-delete-suspended-users-after-import/73011/3)

This doesn’t seem to delete the user avatar pictures (unless Discourse is caching them?) so I was wondering if anyone can tell me where I can go in the DigitalOcean droplet to delete the images?

Thanks!
