Description
It seems not possible to cleanup orphaned directories via storage API [1]
The problem: The default filesystem storage will call os.rename on storage.delete(name) usage. So it's only possible to delete a file and not a directory.
Usecase:
I store files (via models.FileField) in a sub-directory with a random token (via upload_to callback).
I delete the file via post_delete model signal and call storage.delete(file.path)
Now i can only delete the sub directory if i implement a own routine and use os.rmdir(path) if the default filesystem storage is used.
