Comment (by bahia0019):

 This is not a duplicate. It may be related, but it's not a duplicate.
 The description on the other ticket is "You should be able to change the
 parent of an attachment to attach it to a different post."

 What this thread is about is being able to detach or unattach. Again, when
 deleting an image from a Page/Post/Gallery, it doesn't remove the
 association with that post. It's a huge oversight (as other above have
 mentioned).

 And the plugin you refer to forces you to go to the Media Library to
 unattach the media. That's unintuitive and buggy at best.

 All I'm saying is that the default behavior when deleting a Media
 attachment, is that it should unattach from that Post/Page.
