Maybe you should also remind people do delete “Previous versions” of their pages? Often people submit a page section by section leaving many old versions behind.

It is for photos at least. So deleting them accomplishes nothing (except that the site looks cleaner).

Matt has said that this time around, deleted items will be truly gone after he works his little magic next week.

the note I got from the elves only mentioned PMs.
The PMs are the main issue. The PM database table is getting too large.
I will not delete any photos. The issue isn't with disk space. And even if it were, all of the photos are now hosted on RackSpace Cloud Files, so they don't occupy any disk space on the SP server.
However, I have changed the code to actually delete images from its location on the CloudFiles when a user deletes an image. So, if you delete images now, they will actually be deleted from the system. Due to caching, it will take an hour or more for deleted images to actually disappear though.

Actually, it does mention photos as well. I know the guy who wrote it, so trust me.

And if you delete an image from your gallery that is attached to or inserted in a page, then it will be deleted from the page as well correct?
