   Hi Joe,

   the current code will indeed remove the attachments that were uploaded on the current (deleted) post.

   Thanks for your suggestion.
   If you are in need to this to NOT delete attachments, edit the auto-prune-posts.php like so:
   OPEN
   auto-prune-posts.php

   FIND
   if ($atts) {
   foreach ($atts as $att) {
   // Deletes this attachment
   wp_delete_attachment($att->ID, $force_delete);
   }
   }

   REPLACE WITH
   if ( false && $atts ) {
   foreach ($atts as $att) {
   // Deletes this attachment
   wp_delete_attachment($att->ID, $force_delete);
   }
   }
