Overview of the Issue
When you want to delete a media file you only need to go to your DashboardMediaLibrary and delete it.
However, if you have selected WPML’s option When deleting a post, delete translations as well, you will notice that the image does not appear in the WordPress Library anymore but the file is still available at the /uploads/ folder.
Workaround
This issue is fixed in WPML 4.3.12. Updating solves it on your site, so you only need this workaround if you can’t update yet.
While our developers launch a new version which fixes this issue, go to WPMLSettings page, scroll to Posts and pages synchronization section and uncheck the When deleting a post, delete translations as well option.
