Bug description:
Given that images are stored cached on disk in a three tier md5 structure, it is hard to delete all of them at once when the original is requested to be deleted.

A cron job should be written to find all filed older than a certain time in the cache and remove them.

It doesn't matter if the cronjob is a little indiscriminate, as cached images will be regenerated on the fly.
