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 OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
Right now, deleting a file/folder does not delete its corresponding sharing records. After a file/folder has been deleted, sharing records should also be deleted.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a file/folder
- Share the created file/folder
- Permanently delete that file/folder
- Check table oc_share
Expect: It's sharing records deleted
Actual: It's sharing records still exist
Expected behavior
Sharing records should also be removed from the oc_share table.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the four listed steps on a supported Nextcloud version and inspect the oc_share table after permanent deletion. Trace the file or folder deletion path and its sharing-record handling; done means the corresponding sharing records are removed, with regression coverage for the reported behavior.
