Description
When uploading a new file as a replacement for an old one using the FileField, the old file is left lying around on the file system.
The old one should be deleted, which would be consistent with the behavior exhibited when deleting an object with a FileField.

#4339 talks about the same thing, but has a patch so I'm marking this one duplicate of that one.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I'm very suspicious of allowing automatic file deletion as a default. It's *forever* so if anything else in the system is using the file, it's bad.
Maybe an attribute on the field for deleting replaced files?
