Description
Make sure these boxes are checked before submitting your issue -- thanks for reporting issues back to Parse Server!
- You've met the prerequisites.
- You're running the latest version of Parse Server.
- You've searched through existing issues. Chances are that your issue has been reported or resolved before.
One of the features that I liked on the hosted Parse was, in the settings, the button Clean Up Files. This way, every file stored in S3 for example, that wasn't anymore referenced from a PFFile, would be deleted. I liked it specially because it allowed us to save on unused/unneeded resources.
Maybe a Rest call using the master key would be initially enough? In the future, with possible integration with the parse-dashboard?
I know it's lower priority compared to the features/fixes that are being developed, but that would be great to have.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue discussion and the existing Parse Server REST API and file-storage entry points. Compare the proposed master-key cleanup call with the hosted Parse Clean Up Files behavior and possible parse-dashboard integration. Done should mean identifying an agreed scope and safely deleting unreferenced S3 files.
