Category:Undeletable files

These files has been marked as files that should be deleted.

They are not used by any page on All The Tropes and no page on All The Tropes links to them. Therefore, their presence on the wiki might be a copyright violation.

However, a database error is preventing the files from being deleted. Error deleting file: An unknown error occurred in storage backend "local-backend".

As of May 2020, we have not been able to determine the cause of the database error, nor can we work around the error in order to actually delete these files. Nothing works.
 * We have tried deleting them twice in a row.
 * We have tried renaming them and then deleting them.
 * We have tried overwriting them and then deleting them.

We have noticed that they were all uploaded at least twice, and that there is no thumbnail available for the first upload of each file. This is the only thing that the files appear to have in common.

At this point, we are gathering a list of files that we have asked the Miraheze system administrators/programmers/DBAs to delete directly from the storage backend without going through the web front-end that is available to the All The Tropes bureaucrats - see Phabricator ticket T6228.

In order to add a file to this category, put Undeletable file on its description page.

This is a site maintenance category. Please do not delete it even if it is empty. __EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__
