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.
* 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.
Nothing works.
 
We have noticed that they were all uploaded by "Maintenance script" 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 ave in common.
 
Previous cases that resulted in undeletable files, now resolved:
At this point, we are gathering a list of files that we will eventually ask the Miraheze system administrators/programmers/DBAs to delete directly from the database without going through the web front-end that is available to the All The Tropes bureaucrats.
