File "in use" does not get set to "0" after being removed from content

Created on 27 March 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

Files are still set to "in use" even after the file is removed from the original content type. This makes it hard to remove the file through the normal Drupal clean up process.

Steps to reproduce

Create site
Enable `media` and `media library` modules
Add new file field to `article` content type
Create a new `article`, add a file and save it
Edit new `article` by removing old file and adding a new one
Go to /admin/content/files
Verify that old files still shows in use

Proposed resolution

Since the content article no longer utilizes the file, it should reflect on the file usage as "0".

There are a lot of issues about file usage tracking, centered in 🌱 Dealing with unexpected file deletion due to incorrect file usage Active . Can you verify this issue is unique? If it is I will connect this issue to it.
