Delete post with all files attached to it

WP does not do this by default since there is no guarantee that attachment isn’t still being used by some other post.

Basic logic would be to hook into delete_post, query for child attachments and run wp_delete_attachment() on each.

I did quick search in plugin repository and came up with tiny plugin that does just that (seems unmaintained so test before use) – Post Data Delete Advanced.
