Currently Flow does not support an automatic garbage collection, such a feature (along with a new resource management framework) is planned though for Flow 2.1.

If you want to remove unneeded resource files, you currently need to manually (… with some script) check for all files in Data/Persistent/ if the SHA1 hash (the filename) is still used in some ResourcePointer object in the database. If its not used anymore, you can delete the file.

Cheers,
