Clean up orphaned media files. Supports dry-run mode to preview what would be deleted without actually deleting.
AI agents call postiz_cleanup_orphan_media to permanently remove resources in Postiz Media Manager — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
When dry-run mode is disabled, this tool irreversibly deletes orphaned media files from the system. File deletion is a destructive, non-reversible operation. The dry-run option reduces risk but does not change the tool's capability or classification. Severity is high because bulk media deletion could remove many files at once with no recovery path.
From the tool's definition 'Clean up orphaned media files' and 'preview what would be deleted without actually deleting' — the tool performs actual deletion of files when not in dry-run mode
