Hello Steffen,

When hooking on "add_attachment, delete_attachment and edit_attachment", 
you get an argument which is the post ID (an attachment is a post 
actually) needed to retrieve the file URL or path for example (with 
get_attached_file function).

    function sample_function($post_id) {
         $path = get_attached_file($post_id);
    }
    add_action('delete_attachment', 'sample_function');


You don't need anything else imho.

Lionel
