This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: Images that are uploaded using CRED are stored in the Media Library even if the form is not submitted. They are not deleted automatically when the auto-draft post is deleted on the normal cron schedule.
Solution: Programmatically there is not a good way to know whether or not these media items have been used elsewhere on the site, so we will leave them in the Media Library indefinitely.

Here Waqas mentions that "CRED deletes all auto drafts created, if they're not used within 4 hours after creation. That means, the unattended or leftover media files will automatically be deleted from your system."

That doesn't appear to be happening. Please see screen shot.
