ParticipantWhen I delete a post that has Image Advanced filed, attached image won't be deleted.
This might be compatibility problem with WPML.(not sure)January 20, 2021 at 7:00 AM #24100ParticipantActually disabling WPML doesn't affect the problem.

ModeratorHi,
The option
'force_delete' => trueis to delete the media file when removing it from the post meta (list images of image_advanced field). See my screen record for more information https://share.getcloudapp.com/v1u4Z8BD.January 21, 2021 at 12:35 AM #24106ParticipantAs I mentioned, Force delete is enabled in Metabox Builder.
January 21, 2021 at 10:40 AM #24110ModeratorHi,
I also use the Meta Box Builder on the screen record. The documentation also notes about this setting:
force_deleteWhether or not delete the images from Media Library when deleting them from post meta.trueorfalse(default).Delete the image from the list of the field which is created by Meta Box - post meta, not delete the image when deleting the post.
January 21, 2021 at 10:53 AM #24111ParticipantI see.
Is there a way to delete attached images when a post is deleted?January 21, 2021 at 11:16 AM #24112ModeratorHi,
Actually, after deleting a post, the post meta is still stored in the database. So I think you should:
1. Delete the attachment (image).
2. Delete the post meta.The action hook before_delete_post will help you to achieve the goal.
Refer to this topic: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/134894/correctly-delete-posts-with-meta-and-attachments
and some WP functions:
