43990.patch​ looks pretty good at first glance. wp_delete_file() uses the @ operator when it calls unlink(), so I don't think we need to keep it when calling wp_delete_file().

( I kinda think ​it shouldn't even be used inside wp_delete_file(), but that's another ticket :) )

I wondered about the @ operator but figured I’d leave it since I don’t know why it was there in the first place. 😄

@macbookandrew just for clarity, can you quickly detail why using wp_delete_file() is preferred?

#6 @macbookandrew

@desrosj Basically to standardize on one method for removing files, and also giving the option to use the wp_delete_file filter for every file deletion action.

That and @iandunn’s comment here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43546#comment:57
