Update: I found this one here: [Dateien lassen sich nicht löschen](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/dateien-lassen-sich-nicht-loeschen/5589/5) and the post from Ventusfahrer helped! I could delete it, yeah! BUT a new problem occurs. The Nextcloud is running in an Proxmox-VM. I gave a 160GB Container to the Nextcloud-VM and I gave 90GB to my standard-user. Only 84GB have been shown as available, that would have been still ok, but after deleting of this locked file I only got 76.4 GB of available space left?? where’s the rest gone? I can resize it to a lower value, but not to a higher one. What can I do? And how could I expand the maximum available space to the 160GB? --- _[View the full topic](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/file-locked-cant-be-deleted-nextcloud-is-quiet-slow-approx-9mb-s-even-for-big-files/10970)._
