Hi sigma

I haven't noticed this. You may want to post in the Paperclip google group to see what they say. If you're really worried, maybe you could do a before_destroy callback on the model and set its attachment attribute to nil (or call @model.attachment.destroy) - that should do the trick. But I bet that the attachment probably is being destroyed, I would've thought it should be default behaviour by Paperclip...

Doesn't work.

@model.destroy will destroy both the object and file from your storage system. If it does not, it means you have customized somewhere the behavior of the attachment. Using debugger should help you out and check out thoroughly your log files.
