 Hello @Jossnaz,

 I cannot reproduce the bug in my end. But if you want to be able to see if
 the files are indeed deleted. You may try this.
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $attachments = get_attached_media( '', $post->ID );

 foreach( $attachments as $attachment ) {
     $meta = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $attachment->ID );
     $backup_sizes = get_post_meta( $attachment->ID,
 '_wp_attachment_backup_sizes', true );
     $file = get_attached_file( $attachment->ID );

     // Here you'll get either true or false.
     $delete_files = wp_delete_attachment_files( $attachment->ID, $meta,
 $backup_sizes, $file );

     // Still need to call this to delete the `attachment post`.
     wp_delete_attachment( $attachment->ID, true );
 }
 }}}
