Steps to reproduce

1. Open a file
2. Watch check table oc_files_lock -> lock entry appears
3. Delete the file (keep e.g. Libre Office open)
4. Close Libre Office

Expected behaviour

File is unlocked and removed from server.

Actual behaviour

File is deleted on local machine but not deleted on server and locked (visible in Browser and entry is still in DB). Thus it is impossible to remove the file without removing the lock manually from the DB.

Same issue here, I'll precise a bit the expected behaviour from my point of view :

• on computer A, open a file, it'll be locked

• on computer B, delete this file. It seems to work, it is actually deleted in file explorer.
  
  

  -» no error on desktop client :
  

  -» but if I click on "synchronize now", I get this :
  

• on computer A, close the file. It'll release the lock

• on computer B, the "deleted" file come's back
  

The fact a file that man has deleted will appear randomly again can be very disturbing.

Expected behaviour

File does not delete on computer B, because it's locked. Maybe with an explicit error message. And man can delete it only if it's unlocked.

I think the errors are different but maybe related.
In my case no second client is required but already a single client and the server server become "desynced"/locked/inconsistent state...
