  1. Upload an image as part of a post or comment
  2. Navigate to your profile page -> Uploads
  3. Open image in new tab (and save the URL)
  4. Press "delete" on the image
  5. Attempt to navigate to the saved URL

This should result in a 404 error. Currently, it shows the screenshot. Below is a screenshot I deleted from my profile:

Here is confirmation from my user profile taken after the above screenshot was deleted:

I might be wrong, but this is still open, so wouldn't that mean pictures are not deleted until this changes?

Edit: apparently it was just never marked as resolved but it had been implemented, disregard
