Deleting offloaded images

Hi Support,

I have this setup going on since 2019 but it was very recently that deleting images for offloaded images does not work anymore.

As a brief overview, I have an XML import which is set to delete entries, alongside associated images, when the product is out of stock. These images are offloaded to DigitalOcean via WP Offload Media. When I want to update the products on the site, I simply run the import and it deletes out of stock products and then deletes the offloaded images in DigitalOcean too. This was working well for a long time.

This month, I needed to do some cleanup and ran the import to delete out of stock products. However, the import is not deleting offloaded images anymore. I already tested if it deletes images available locally and it does.

So it seems to check if the image is available locally before it does the delete? Or I am not sure what’s really happening. Can you advise when the logic for deleting images was changed? Not sure about the last working version for my use case as it was around early 2023 when I did last import run.

Will a fix be available or is this the new logic for deleting images moving forward?

Thank you.
