I am traumatised from losing of uploads, my blog just lost a pile of images on early posts due to a bug we had.

I think we should simply start with a rake task people can run to reclaim the space taken up by images on deleted posts (and posts on deleted topics) we can then decide what to do longer term but at least have an outlet here.
