Images that go unused by any app for 30 days will be automatically purged

Can I ask what’s the meaning of “unused images”? If I have an online shopping app built with Glide, each item has its image, but some items have never been selected/clicked, does it mean these are unused images?

What’s the best way to avoid this happening? Would you suggest using our database for storing images or files?

It means any image that is stored in Glide storage, but is not referenced in any of your tables. So if you had a row in a table with a column that contains an image url, and you delete that row, the image will no longer be referenced and will be deleted from the Glide storage in 30 days.
