i uploaded another jpg and deleted it succesfully. i think it was a temporary problem with the database.
that shouldn't happen neither the user should see such an error page.

an administrator should get informed about it.

@davidak was it with sqlite or postgres ?

[Aeva]

@loic is sqlite

Hi David,

Thanks for raising this issue and sorry for the slow response on this. I've tried this myself on the default SQLite database, but wasn't able to repeat the issue. Would you mind trying again and letting us know if it still occurs for you? If not, we might close the issue and assume it was just a temporary problem.

(Also worth noting that we should probably delete from the database before deleting the file.)

Cheers,
Ben

David, I'll tentatively close this ticket as we haven't had a response from you yet. Please don't hesitate to re-open this if you find the locked database error is still occurring for you.
