Hi, i set the parameter to 48 hours (attached image) for the orphan uploads configuration to delete images, but after a long time (about several months) I checked the image link and it still hasn’t been deleted, even though I no longer use that image in any article? Is this an orphan uploads error? I look forward to receiving instructions to fix this?

Thank you very much!
