Does deleting a file from the File Type not delete the actual file? Or do you have some kind of cleanup cron job running in the background?

I saw your report in the

api-bugs

repo. I was of the impression it should take a few minutes for the file to be deleted, not several hours. We'll need to look into this.

Took about 2-3 hours. Image API doesn't use the cached file, so that stopped working right away.
