Reported for: WPML Media Translation 2.5.2
Resolved in: WPML 4.3.12
Overview of the issue
When you want to delete a media file you only need to go to your Dashboard > Media > Library 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
While our developers launch a new version which fixes this issue, go to WPML > Settings page, scroll to Posts and pages synchronization section and uncheck the When deleting a post, delete translations as well option.
Can you please fix this. The problem exists for month now.

We have the same problem with deleting media files. Unchecking the “When deleting a post, delete translations as well” option doesn’t make a difference and the number of languages used is just two.
Hello,
I have same problem
Hi, this issues is alrrady fixed, being tested and will be included in our next WPML release.
Hello Amit,
When will it be released?
Regards Michel
This should be gradually released in the upcoming bugfix release, most probably during the current week.
I have just installed the latest update and was excited to read that this was fixed in the changelog, however the problem still exists and is certainly NOT FIXED
Enabling or disabling the option does not make a different.
The file is still only deleted from the server after I manually delete the file in all 3 languages.
Hi Max, if you are using the latest WPML 4.3.12 and the issue is not yet resolved please email me – amit.k@onthegosystems.com – please includes ll the details, steps, and screens that will help me understand what is happening.
P.S. I have not installed WPML Media Translation as I don’t need custom translations for my media files. But this should not prevent me from deleting media in all languages at once.
Actually I think technically you do need to use WPML Media since part of the fix was introduced in there.
Sorry, I am wrong. There shouldn’t be a need to activate WPML Media for this to work correctly.
