Description

### Describe the bug
upload doesn't work when done repeatedly to the same file (in the web UI). i assume this has to do with some of the dedup logic. maybe removing the upload from the upload list when the file is deleted would solve the issue?

### To Reproduce
without refreshing the browser window:
upload a file
delete the file
upload it again

### Expected behavior
the file gets uploaded again

Tested with latest dev as well as current release version

Research direction

Look at the web UI upload logic and dedup handling, likely in frontend JavaScript and backend Python. Start by reproducing the bug: upload a file, delete it, and try uploading again without refreshing. Check the upload list management and dedup logic to see why the second upload fails. The fix may involve updating the upload list state when a file is deleted.
