Saving a draft does not delete orphaned attachments from the server

    Description

      This is not relevant if PHPBB3-16193 ever gets finished, but right now whenever a draft is saved, any attachments which were uploaded for the draft end up permanently orphaned instead of being cleaned from the server. A simple call to delete the orphaned attachments when a draft is saved would stop polluting the server with orphan attachments which are guaranteed not to be used again. See attached patch.

      Reproduction:

      1. Create post
      2. Add attachment
      3. Save as draft

      Expected: Attachments are deleted from the server
      Actual: Unrecoverable attachments are left on the server
