Description

I get an internal server error when I try to delete "big" files from my pod at inrupt.net.
The files are a few megabytes big, you can find them here: https://harrystminrupt.inrupt.net/public/apps/website/
They are a relic from a react-app that I hosted there.

I have already tried different client-libraries and solid-apps for file-management of pods, but I always get the same error, which leads me to believe that this is a problem with the server (kind of obvious since it's an internal server error).

I also already created a post on the solidproject-forum, you can check it out for a bit more info:

Research direction

Start by reproducing deletion of the linked few-megabyte files from the inrupt.net pod, then review the additional details in the linked Solid Project forum post. Compare behavior across the client libraries and Solid apps mentioned in the report. Done means those files can be deleted without an internal server error.
