Permanently delete an asset

Deletes the asset entirely — the database record, the stored file, and all associated data (faces, album links, etc.). Irreversible. Prefer trash_assets for the user’s standard delete action so accidents can be recovered.

Use remove_assets_from_album instead when the user only wants to remove an asset from a specific album but keep the file in their library. Use delete_album to remove an album without deleting its assets.
