   Hi @rambleraptor, thanks for the PR, quick comment, it may make sense to 
link that this Closes #1200. I do see a related PR #1958, but it looks 
potentially abandoned (CC: @jayceslesar).
   
   _NOTE:_ I notice that you call it remove orphan files, while the linked 
issue is called delete orphan files. The Java code itself calls it 
`DeleteOrphanFiles`, however the API for Spark and Trino use 
`remove_orphan_files`. Did a bit of research to try and understand why. Seems 
to potentially avoid ambiguity regarding doing row-level deleting, making it 
more user-friendly where "remove" is known to be a house-keeping type 
operation. The Java naming of choosing "delete" actually matches their CRU**D** 
interface since they are performing a delete operation on files.
