I did. Though in my case, it's just in case I forget to delete the leftover NFO/image thumbnails when I delete/rename a video file.
What I did to solve this issue is to create a script that compares all NFO and image files to the existing video files.
If the filenames don't match up, they get deleted by my script.
If I am to guess why this isn't built into Jellyfin, it's probably because users wouldn't want Jellyfin deleting all files except for those scanned into Jellyfin's database. Some people link their Jellyfin servers to libraries that are in use by some other apps/media servers.
