SID-01977: EditTheAttachmentTable

We had problems to delete an attachment named "SOVE_+_Listen_Kaernten.docx", so an admin delete this attachment directly in the directory where it was stored. But the table of attachments still shows this attachment and if I try to administrate it I get an error "this file does not exist" (and that ist correct).

Am I able to edit the table of attachments to delete the line with the deleted attachment? Or what have I - or an admin - to do, so that the table of attachments shows the correct lines?

Discussion and Answer

Edit the topic and add a cmd=repRev URL parameter. That way you can update the topic in debug mode, including all meta data. Remove the meta data of that attachment. Watch out not to change any other meta data. Also, best to do an edit/save before this debug edit, because the debug edit does not bump up the revision.
