Deleting metadata and artwork after deleting the media file

I am using Emby with windows media center 7.

I have my system set up to record an episode like  "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert - S01E47.wtv"

The Emby server correctly finds the metadata and creates in the same folder the metadata files

"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert - S01E47,info"  and  "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert - S01E47-thumb.jpg"

After I watch an episode, i usually delete it. My user has the 'delete' ability set, and Emby does delete the file and refresh the library, removing the WTV file. But it leaves behind the .INFO and .JPG files.

I'd like it to clean up those files after the main media file is deleted. Is there a setting somewhere to do that?  Or will I have to manually clean up those files myself as i watch and delete episodes?

Thanks!

Currently it's very conservative in order to avoid accidental deletion of files that shouldn't be deleted. it's something that can be improved in the future.
