Media is hidden when directory is deleted

Created on 7 May 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

Did not find any issues regarding this. Please close this if this is a duplicate.

If a directory/term is deleted, all the images become unreachable via Drupal Media view (/admin/content/media). Tested with Media Directories UI.

Digging the database reveals that the reference is not deleted from the media.

Steps to reproduce

Install, enable and configure module like normally
Create a term/directory
Edit image and select newly created directory
Confirm you see it correctly when filtering directory in /admin/content/media
Delete the term/directory
Confirm the image is not shown in /admin/content/media when selecting "Root directory"

Proposed resolution

Add a process to go through the media items having the deleted directory/term ID in database table `media_field_data` column `directory` and set this value to `NULL` when taxonomy term/directory is deleted.

Another solution to this might be that the module do not edit the Drupal Media view by adding directory filtering.
