Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- Nextcloud Server is running on 64bit capable CPU, PHP and OS.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
There are pending shares listed that I haven't either rejected or accepted for a long time. When I tried to reject those shares, it shows, "Something happened. Unable to reject the share."
Those files don't exist anymore or might be moved that's the reason behind it.
Steps to reproduce
- Share some files with another user
- Move or delete that file
- The other user can not accept or reject the file
Expected behavior
Such pending shares shouldn't be shown in the first place.
