Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing Pict-rs purge logic and how posts and comments reference media; define the behavior for orphaned and removed content, then add coverage for each case.

Description

enhancement

Hi there! I'd love to see a feature in LPP that allows you to configure only purging media from pictrs that is not tied to a post (or comment, if possible).

My instance is currently on a VM that is limited to 128GBs of space, and at the current moment it'd be a bit difficult to expand it. I'm not super concerned with old posts that contain only pure text / links to external stuff, but media that no longer is attached to a post/comment would be nice to remove.

It'd also be even more convenient if this could apply to posts that have been removed (either by a mod or the user themselves) since posts tend to get removed, but not necessarily purged.

Super appreciative of LPP altogether though!
