You can create an api that delete the image on the server when user delete it on the editor.

Define the url like:

url_patterns = [
    path('delete-image', delete_image, name='delete_image'),
]

The api view where you delete the image on server:

@api_view(['POST'])
def delete_image(request):
   # Delete image

jQuery scripts:

    <when image is deleted on editor>{
       $.post(url, data, function(data, status){
       })
    }
