A file that a can not delete on the server

Hi guys!

I messed up a bit with Nextcloud by moving twice a directory (containing large files) into another one. As a result, I end up with a movie that I can’t rename or delete from the server. However, I was able to uncheck the folder in the synchronization PC application and so my local trace was deleted (the result I wanted).

How can I now delete the remote file?

Thanks

Perhaps you can in this case delete the file direct from filesystem (e.g. rm …) and then rescan all.

sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan
