Description

See the image below that describes the issue pretty well:

image

  • RED arrows links produces error 500
  • BLUE arrows links produces "soft" 404 (links to empty folder).

I believe that if a file is deleted, all links to that file should be disabled.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named; begin with the linked issue image and reproduce both link behaviors after deleting a file. Done means links to deleted files are disabled and no longer produce a 500 error or a soft 404 to an empty folder.
