small correction: only big files (>20MB) get automatically pinned (https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/blob/master/plugins/OptionalManager/OptionalManagerPlugin.py#L134), smaller files will be automatically deleted if you reach the storage limit (10% of your free space by default, but you can change it on files tab)

pinned files (you can only pin big and optional files) aren't deleted by automatical garbage collector. When you download a file, you automatically pin it. If you unpin it, it will be removed soon, but that's all.
