Chunks not cleaned when removing a file #80
Description
I have already opened the issue carrierwaveuploader/carrierwave-mongoid#205 where I explain that when deleting a model which has a mounter using the :grid_fs storage engine, the GridFs::File is well destroyed, but the belonging GridFs::Chunk aren't, even do I found the has_many :chunks, ..., dependent: :destroy, ... line in this gem.
I have checked the tests from this gem and I couldn't find one which ensures the chunks are cleaned.
Does anyone had that issue already ?

Added a direct GridFS regression in #89: destroying a reloaded file containing multiple chunks removes its file record and all its chunks, while preserving another file and its chunks. This passes on Mongoid 9. The existing dependent-destroy association works in that scenario, so this does not yet reproduce the CarrierWave integration failure.
file.delete,delete_all, and direct collection deletion skip dependent destruction;file.destroy,GridFs.delete(id), and namespaceclearuse destruction. Keeping this open pending a reproducible CarrierWave case and the supported-version CI results rather than claiming a fix from a passing direct test.Posted by an AI on behalf of @dblock.
