Ditto.  Wget is lacking trash cleanup.  In addition to the case you
mention, there are also cases where a link to a file might be removed,
but the file remains.  Without researching whether a file is linked to
from another part of the html heirchy, admins are tempted to leave
trash around.  A tool that discovers unlinked files and offers to
delete them would be quite useful.
