After uploading an image, if the user later removes this image data, the blog or page will end up with many unused images. How do you handle this issue?

The ABP CMS Kit does not provide an automatic mechanism to clean up or remove unused images that were previously uploaded and are no longer referenced in blog posts or pages. Uploaded files remain in storage even if they are not used in any content, which can lead to accumulation of unused images over time.
To handle this issue, you would need to implement a custom solution. A typical approach is:
- Track image usage: When an image is uploaded, store metadata about where it is used (e.g., blog post or page ID).
- On content update or deletion: Check which images are no longer referenced in the content.
- Cleanup: Periodically or on-demand, remove images from storage that are not referenced by any content.
This process requires custom development, as the CMS Kit does not include built-in support for orphaned file cleanup.
