Product images not updating or deleting, weird behavior storefront

[pastel osprey]

Hello, im updating product images and using the plugin file-local. In the admin panel, i can add or delete product images, and images are updated correctly (they are present in the UI and in the Uploads folder), but in the store front those images are not displayed and images array inside product is empty. Ive seen, that if i remove images from a product, these images are not deleted from the uploads folder (I think they should). Has anyone experience this behavior?

Thanks!!

The part about them not being deleted is a known issue. It removes the record of the image, so that it's not longer attached to the product. But it doesn't actually delte the file.
