What should this feature add?

I removed generated images in Invoke output folder but they still shows in Invoke Gallery UI. I think Invoke should auto remove them if I removed in output folder before. Or a button in the gallery panel to clean up "that issue" i guess.

Research direction
Investigate how the gallery UI currently loads images from the output folder. Look into implementing a file watcher (e.g., chokidar) to detect deletions and update the gallery state. Alternatively, add a 'Clean up' button that scans the gallery and removes entries for missing files. Consider using the backend API to handle file system operations. Review existing gallery components in the frontend codebase.
