To add to that, you'll likely need to know the ID of the parent model
in order to remove the correct records and files for the child model.
So pass the ID off to the other model. Something like:

function afterDelete()
{
$this->ChildModel->cleanupImages($this->id);
}

$this->id is set in Model::delete() before the record is removed. It's
then set to false after the afterDelete callback.
