Delete files as an admin not working

The above report is this a permissions issue?

There's also a couple patches floating around.

There is an existing patch for this here:
🐛 Batch finish Force Delete return always status message 0 files cleansed. Fixed

and another related issue is linked to that.

Please review if permissions changes and or one of these existing patches this fixes the issue.

Please report the results here or in the related issues.

Hi Joseph,
I think it's not a permission thing because I can delete via Tab Manual filling in the file ids without any problem. But this was working the same checking the files in the List view on Tab List.

Hi, I'm relying heavily on the community to provide guidance here, let me know which patch "if any" you think might be worth reviewing.

Hello,

I have uploaded a file through the content editor as a user. Then, I logged in as an admin and went to /admin/config/content/fancy_file_delete/list. As a result, I deleted the file following the instructions above.

I have shared a screenshot for your reference.

Some of the content like News and Date, the Editor can create, uses mediatypes, where e.g. pdf-files or docx-files can be uploaded.
So there is a mediatype 'Datei Volltextsuche' for pdf and a mediatype 'Dokument' for the docx.

The permission rights as an Editor for these Media types are:
Create new media,
Edit any media,
Edit own media,
Update own media

The permission rights as an Editor for content types like News and Date are:
Create new content,
Edit any content,
Edit own content,
Revert revisions,
View revisions,
Administer content,
Revert all revisions
View all revisions

To test the functionality of my site I have set up several cypress tests for creating and deleting content and uploaded files to be sure that the main features are working.
I have also added tests that use the file_fancy_delete list to delete uploaded files. For those tests the test logs in as the admin. When creating content the test logs in as an Editor with the above described permission rights.
This was working fine for several month. In the meantime I did the drupal core and module updates and from some day these tests for deleteing uploaded files were failing.
So I tried to delete the files manually and recognised that it doesn't work any more.
For some reason the deleting with FID Numbers on tab Manual is working as expected, regardless if the file is in use or not.
So deleting the files on tab list is not working for me wether if the files are still in use or if I delete the content and the media types so that the files are not in use any more.
The latter has always worked well with my cypress tests using the tab list.
What am I doing wrong.

As per the project description, you will need this patch: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2949017 🐛 There is no way to delete file entities of other users Fixed
