Is there a way to purge physical assets no longer in use by the system?

 

Currently we have more than 38GB of assets and the number keeps growing. I’m sure some of those had been deleted in the UI and are no longer in use. How do we clean that up?

 

At what point in the content life-cycle are the physical assets deleted? Should a UI delete operation also delete it from the physical assets?

Delete old asset versions does this for you.  Also, you can delete anything under the assets/bundle directory older than a day.

Ok thanks. We don’t use push publishing bundles, but I’ll try the “Delete old asset versions” sometime.

Site search creates bundles too, fyi.
