Let's add the option to purge the image/video library every 24 hours and remove the images and videos that haven't been associated with an article for more than 48 hours.

Since the above comment was made on 2013-01-14, the announcement, "New feature: uploading images in the forums!" was made March 4, 2013 in https://support.mozilla.org/forums/contributors/709030 

The decision was made in the related bug 694941 to use the image gallery for contributor forum images, though other options were considered.   

Is a way to automatically purge images that aren't being used in either contributor forum posts or KB articles being investigated?

These open bugs are related to manual removal:
Bug 613337 - Media gallery gives no warning when deleting an image in use
Bug 909824 - Allow Forum Mods to remove images from the Image Gallery  
Bug 935068 - Add feature: Articles that link to this image
Hi Alice, thanks for bringing this up. Currently this seems like a low priority issue. Would be nice to have for sure.
