Deleting images doesn't actually delete the image (aussie.zone)

  1. Upload an image as part of a post or comment
  2. Navigate to your profile page -> Uploads
  3. Open image in new tab (and save the URL)
  4. Press "delete" on the image
  5. Attempt to navigate to the saved URL

This should result in a 404 error. Currently, it shows the screenshot. Below is a screenshot I deleted from my profile:

Here is confirmation from my user profile taken after the above screenshot was deleted:

I might be wrong, but this is still open, so wouldn't that mean pictures are not deleted until this changes?

seems like just nobody thought of closing it before, it was already implemented.
