[14.0][storage_backend_s3] strange workflow when deleting an image about storage

[Mat-moran]

Ok this is not an extrange workflow, is not the expected way to remove an image.

I notice now that there is a cron job scheduled every day that execute _clean_storage_file so there is no need to do it manually in a normal workflow. But if you are in a testing phase you should take it into account, so you mind if I do a PR reflecting this in the README?

I missed this. Well, yes, the idea is that you can delete images fast by archiving them.
Having this written in the readme would be nice, feel free to open a PR for this or any other improvement 😉
Feel free to reopen if needed.

This is not an error or bug, sorry my fault.

but IMO is a strange workflow.

To remove completely the images from the backend S3 you need to execute the Clean Storage File action in the Files window and to do that you need to select at least one current file to be able to see the action menu.

• It this method not apply when you delete an image for some reason?
• If there is a reason... , It is not better to have a contextual button to run this method instead of have it inside the actions menu? Because this method is not related with any record in Files, it is just a method to remove in the remote backend the files that are not present in the odoo database
