A Django app that automatically deletes old files for FileField and ImageField when their values change or when the model instance is deleted. It works via Django signal handlers and transaction-aware file deletion.

Use cases

• automatically delete old files when a FileField is updated in Django
• remove uploaded images when a Django model instance is deleted
• clean up orphaned media files from Django models
• prevent stale uploads from accumulating on disk
• manage file lifecycle for Django ImageField models

When to choose

• you use Django's FileField or ImageField and want automatic file cleanup
• you want a zero-configuration app that hooks into Django signals
• your database supports transactions and you need safe file deletion on rollback

When to avoid

• you use a database without transaction support
• your models are not properly loaded in models.py
• you need cleanup for non-Django file storage outside the ORM
