Deleting Resource Images Automatically When Content Is Removed

How to use Evolution CMS events to find deleted resources and clean up related TV images and generated thumbnails.

Some projects need more than document deletion. When a resource disappears, its related images and generated thumbnails should go too, otherwise the server slowly fills with unused files.

Useful Direction

OnBeforeEmptyTrash and related cleanup events are the right place to hook this behavior. The important part is collecting the affected resource IDs first, then resolving all related media paths before you remove files.

This is one of those automation tasks that saves disk space, keeps media folders cleaner, and makes catalog maintenance much less messy over time.
