I think that it is a known issue (see [1]). The thread links to a discussion that
could provide a fix (If I understood correctly) and introduces a way/extension to
clean those orphaned files in a clean way (using a dirty snapshot). Idea was to
gauge if there is interest to add this extension in contrib (would certainly
need some polishing and code work to meet the "contrib" expectations though).
