Admins can purge posts manually which actually deletes them. Or use tools like db0’s lemmy-safety that tries to automatically search for CSAM and wipe it.

I think the problem here is the user didn’t finish their post which means the photo was uploaded but not associated with a post and therefore not purgeable that way.

That last problem was fixed in an older version of the software. If you upload, but don’t post, it will now be deleted after a time.

You can test this pretty easily by just leaving your browser open with an image uploaded and trying to post it later.
