I use org-attach a lot, and if you're not careful you can get a "data/"
directory of many gigabytes. Not a problem, until you want to rsync it
and it takes all day...
I wrote this to clean my attach directories. I'm not sure how portable
it is (and I'm really not pleased with the (concat attach-dir "/" d "/"
d+)), but I'm posting it to see if it's useful to anyone.
Comments/improvements welcome! If the final product is desirable, I can
work it up as a patch.

This would be most useful indeed. One quick question: why do you use
"rm" instead of "delete-file"?

Because I was copy-pasting from org-attach! The real question is: why
didn't I use `delete-directory' :)
I'll do another version!

Here we go, and this one ought to be a little more portable. I guess
I'll do it as a proper patch in a bit.
(defun org-attach-clean-dirs (&optional attach-dir clean-archived)
(interactive)
(let ((attach-dir
(if attach-dir
(file-name-as-directory attach-dir)
(concat (file-name-as-directory org-directory)
org-attach-directory)))
(valid-dir-re "\\`[0-9a-z-]+\\'")
(org-id-search-archives (if clean-archived nil org-id-search-archives)))
(dolist (d (directory-files attach-dir nil valid-dir-re))
(dolist (d+ (directory-files
(concat attach-dir d) nil valid-dir-re))
(let ((id (format "%s%s" d d+))
(full-path (concat
attach-dir
(file-name-as-directory d)
d+)))
(unless (org-id-find id)
(delete-directory full-path t)))))))

I gave this a try and it seems that `org-attach-directory' needs to be
defined for it to work. I'm surprised because I never configured this
and with gnorb I have had files attached using org-attach. Does gnorb
use a default value for this?
Thanks,
Alan

Gnorb has calls to (require 'org-attach) in certain places -- unless
you've loaded and used gnorb in your current session, you'll probably
want to require that yourself.

Ah, yes, of course. It seems to be working, but it’s awfully silent. It
would be great if it gave some feedback (I don’t know if it actually
deleted anything, as there was nothing in the *Messages* buffer).

Whoops, forgot about this! Feedback is a very good idea. I'm sending
another version, this time as a patch in case this is something that
would be welcome in Org proper.
