When I remove a post that had an image, its image remains in the bucket. Am I missing any settings? Or does this mean, that post is just marked as deleted but still exists in DB, hence its image is still available?

currently, the posts will always remain in the DB.

Can’t believe :joy: There should be a way to remove posts… Otherwise, DB size and bucket will grow and grow…

Anyone knows if this basic feature is going to be implemented in near future?
