Don't forget to "empty trash" afterwards, as deleted images all end up in the trash for something like 30 days. The script docs seem to neglect that point.

When I had to delete a few hundred gigabytes of photos, emptying the trash was just as flaky as deleting the photos was, repeatedly timing out and throwing errors.
