Summary	09291: File(s) not removed if survey cleared
Description	The file(s) uploaded by the "upload file" question type are not removed from the limesurvey filesystem ("upload/surveys/<SID>/files" folder) in case the user move backward/forward ("previous" / "next" buttons) or save the survey with the "resume later" function and finally press the "exit and clear survey" button.
Steps To Reproduce	Run a survey with at least one "upload file" mandatory question type and more than one question group or the "resume" option activated Upload a file for that question and press one of the "previous"/"next" buttons or the "resume later" button (saving the survey) At this point Limesurvey has saved the uploaded file in the "upload/surveys/<SID>/files" folder Press the "exit and clear survey" (eventually resuming the survey if pressed "resume later" button in previous steps) The responses are deleted from the survey (and from DB) but NOT the file uploaded in the survey folder

That is because the click on Exit/clear or Resume does not save questions that are not saved yet - therefore there is no connection to the files and it is orphaned.
