Deleting old files fails
100%
Description
I cannot delete an old file, which once was referenced but isn't anymore. I only see a warning like this:
File not deleted
The file cannot be deleted since it is still used at the following places: [record:...]
What I found out until now:
- records in "sys_file_references" exist, but are marked with "deleted=1"
- existing file references are checked against "sys_refindex" and not "sys_file_references", before they can be deleted
- the reference index contains deleted records
Maybe the check before deleting a file should not check against the reference index, but check the real file references?

Sys_refindex can also hold valid references (other then sys_file_reference) that should block deleting.
If I remember correctly the delete check is done against both tables.
Does deleting a file still fail if you run the refindex updater?
Excluding the deleted sys_file_reference records could make sense if that's currently not the case. But not sure when they get flagged deleted?
In latest 7.6 I could just remove a file after deleting a single sys_file_reference or deleting a record with sys_file_reference's linked to it.

I ran the refindex updater. I truncated the sys_refindex table and rebuilt it again with the refindex updater. - Still the same problem.

We need to check the code of 7.6 against 8.7 to see if there was something changed in the logic with the doctrine migration

just checked behavior between 7LTS and 8LTS. And in 8 the "deleted" sys_file_references indeed block deleting the file. Where this wasn't the case in 7LTS.
