How to rename image name in md5 with existence checks?

Question

Django

Hello!
Please help with writing a function that converts the image name to md5.
When editing the model for the image name, as I understand it, the same hash will be generated again. I saw checks for matches, where if True, a file with the same hash is deleted. However, the fact that sometimes different names can give the same hash makes it more difficult. And what to do then, because you can delete a completely different file?
