Steps to reproduce
- Open a file
- Watch check table
oc_files_lock-> lock entry appears - Delete the file (keep e.g. Libre Office open)
- 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.

Research direction
Start with the files_lock app and the oc_files_lock table, then reproduce the four-step sequence while LibreOffice remains open. Trace the local deletion and close flow; done means the server removes the file and its lock entry when the locally deleted file is closed, without manual database cleanup.
