Comment (by bahia0019):

 > The ticket description on #6820 is misleading. The patch attached there
 deals directly with adding Attach and Detach links and nothing more. I've
 updated the description, and this ticket is a duplicate.

 OK, fine. But the patch that has been sitting there for 4 years deals with
 the just the Media Library. And it doesn't address the fact that there is
 no function inside the Edit Post/Page to unattach when you delete. That's
 a bug that really needs to be addressed, whether it's in this ticket, that
 ticket, whatever ticket.

 > Also, it's important to recognize the difference in terminology between
 "remove" and "delete". I think what you're referring to is that the
 default for "removing" an image from a post/page gallery should be to
 detach it.

 What's the difference? Is there one? And yes, if you remove/delete an
 image from the post it should automatically detach from that Post/Page.
