Will TypeORM @AfterRemove or @BeforeRemove entity listeners still run when the db is dropped?

Some entities in my database have a property which is their associated key on AWS S3, for example:

// my.entity.ts
@Column()
s3Key: string;

I would like one of TypeOrm's entity listeners, @AfterRemove or @BeforeRemove to execute their functions when the table is dropped using the TypeOrm cli? This kind of action would be really helpful when developing locally so I don't have to delete S3 objects one by one when dropping the db

// my.entity.ts
@AfterRemove()
async deleteFromS3AfterRemove() {
  await deleteFromS3("BUCKET_NAME", this.s3Key);
}

So, will these entity listeners still be executed when the table is dropped or does anyone know if typeorm schema:drop emits the remove subscription events?

I had a look around at the source and docs but couldn't find anything https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/blob/master/src/commands/SchemaDropCommand.ts

This does not work - entity listeners are not executed when dropping a database.

I span up a test database with some fake entities to test this out and I added the method

  @AfterRemove()
  async logIfWorking() {
    console.log('✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅');
  }

No console logs were seen when executing the schema drop command from the TypeORM cli
