How does Discord handle storage of images or other content pasted into the message box but never sent?

My understanding is that content sent either in DMs or in channels is stored on Discord's servers until the associated message, channel, or server is deleted, at which point it's slated for garbage collection/deletion on Discord's end.

But at least in the desktop app, Discord pre-uploads content pasted into the message box but not sent - it looks like at this stage it goes to Google's cloud servers. When the message draft/content is deleted from the message box, does Discord delete the content from the Google servers in the same way it treats content actually sent in DMs/server messages?
