Yes, that is a concern that we'll need to discuss and find a solution
for. One possibility would be that a user is alerted that their file
that they are deleting would be deleted from one or more versions of
their portfolio and ask if they want to proceed or not. If they do, then
a placeholder would need to be put onto the version to state that the
file was deleted. Removing it silently is not good when it is assumed
that the version does contain the portfolio as it was seen at the
specific time in the past.

Another option could be that files that only appear in versions do not
count against the user quota.

Title:
  Files are removed from the timeline when deleted

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed
Status in Mahara 18.10 series:
  Confirmed
Status in Mahara 19.04 series:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When a file is placed on a page, e.g. via the "Files to download"
  block and the state saved to the timeline, it does not appear on the
  timeline once the file has been deleted from the Files area though it
  should still appear on the Timeline.

  1. User A has a page with the "Image" block and the "Files to download" 
block. The download block contains both the image and also another file.
  2. User A saves that state to the timeline.
  3. User A deletes the image that is used in the "Image" block and the "Files 
to download" block from their file repository.
  Expected result: The image is still displayed in the timeline.
  Actual result: The image is not displayed in the timeline neither in the 
"Image" block nor the "Files to download" block thus not rendering it a true 
respresentation of the state of that page at that time.
