Comment (by DanielClemente):
Django cannot know whether the file is used somewhere else, but sometimes
*the developer* does know this for certain and wants to delete old files.
There should be an easy way to do it (say, by toggling a parameter after
reading the documentation for some seconds) because there are enough
interested users who are currently spending hours with this issue.
The proposed half-baked workarounds are not trivial enough; none worked
for me at the first try.
I propose having FileField(upload_to='sw',replace=True), where
replace=False would be the default.
