Thanks for reporting! 👍

This one is tricky, I guess we could find the block in the post's content using the mediaId/URL and remove it from the native side but I'm not sure how easily we can match the block's HTML content. Maybe using something similar to the media uploads and the regex we use to replace the block's content.

A quick change could be to not allow removing media if it's being uploaded from a post?
