Description
If permissions to ~/uploads/ are not set correctly (or was modified in some manner), deleting media will only delete database references (item(s) will disappear from the Media Library view) but the actual files are not deleted.
However, when uploading media, permission errors are displayed.
This seems to be the the default behavior.
When was the last time you checked the contents of ~/uploads/ directory?

Hi @danskoya, thanks for the report!
If permissions to ~/uploads/ are not set correctly
Are you referring to a use case where WordPress doesn't have rights to delete files from the filesystem? If so, what would you suggest should happen in this case—that a warning is shown in the admin that explains that the attachment was removed from the library but the file was not able to be deleted?
