As with many others, I've recently needed to do some purging of media in Pict-rs. What I also discovered is that due to an issue with either Lemmy, Pict-rs, or my setup, at some point Pict-rs was not properly removing files from the file system on a purge, leaving about 20GB of media orphaned.

To combat this, I've updated LPP with some additional configuration options to do both direct "purge" of leftover media in Pict-rs not tied to "kept" posts and a forced "remove" of files on the file system that are not properly purged (if using local storage).

You can find all the new options at the GitHub link above.

As a reminder, LPP only removes posts/media older than a specified time if they have not been posted, marked read, voted on, commented on, had comments voted on, or saved by users on your instance.
