What issue do you have?

referenced to this topic: No longer used resources not deleted · Issue #154 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub
The automatic resources clean up has been mentioned since 2018. But I also saw some suggestions about using scripts to clean up redundency resources.
So, i am wandering:

was automatic resources clean up realized officially (in app or plugins)?
if it was realized, how can i find out it is changed in which version or which commit (i searched from the "what's new" page but not really useful).

See

Do attachments (pictures) unattached to any note get deleted, if Note History is disabled? Support

From local testing, resources do seem to be automatically deleted when note history is disabled (though as per <a class="mention" href="/u/harsel">@HarSel</a>'s comment perhaps there's a bug that causes them not to be deleted in some cases). The amount of time they're kept still seems to be based on the Keep note history for (days) setting (even when note history is off).
Summary of testing: Started Joplin 2.14.9 (dev mode) Created a note Attached an…

To summarize:

The Keep note history for (days) setting should determine how long it takes for attachments not linked to any note to be removed.
Just before resources are deleted, a line starting with ResourceService::deleteOrphanResources: should be added to Joplin's log.txt, describing which resources are being removed.
I think automatic resource deletion was added in this commit.
