Thoroughly delete image elements with code

I have image elements in a table. I found that using the code "Images:=null" does not completely delete the images. How can I use code to completely delete them?

      Hi Fred, can the latest function directly delete images now? (Previously, after setting Image := null, the image file would still be saved in the database, just not displayed.) Is there no need to use the old API to delete images anymore?

      Well Ninox says:

      To fully clear the file reference from an Image field, you need to manually set that Image field to null using scripting, such as:

      removeFile(Image);
Image := null;

      So as long as you do both you should be OK.
