Reason is that admin uses QuerySet.delete() (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/models/querysets/#delete)
Note that deleting files while deleting models is dangerous: what happens if deletion is aborted and rolled back for some reason? You have now deleted files but instances stayed in a database. And you have lost data - and created inconsistency on top of that all.
