corruption?
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_new_and_accurate_plan_of_Blenheim_Palace_-_L--39-Art_de_Cre%CC%81er_les_Jardins_-1835--_pl.1_-_BL.jpg
was uploaded as a part of the first batch upload with "GWToolset Batch Upload"
tool. It has several strange properties:
1) Original file page did not have any associated media or description and was
deleted as a page "with no valid content". However the page did have a
thumbnail and there was a full size image
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/A_new_and_accurate_plan_of_Blenheim_Palace_-_L--39-Art_de_Cre%CC%81er_les_Jardins_-1835--_pl.1_-_BL.jpg)
which was not accessible from the file page.
2) The file had no history but in user contribution log one could find edits
with full metadata (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=118131591)
3) The deleted file is still in several categories like
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_using_Artwork_template_with_incorrect_parameter
and can not be removed: deleted file can not be edited and the tools like
Cat-a-lot or hot-cat crash spectacularly when used with this file.
4) file is a duplicate of
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_new_and_accurate_plan_of_Blenheim_Palace_-_L%27Art_de_Cr%C3%A9er_les_Jardins_%281835%29,_pl.1_-_BL.jpg
. It is picked up by "Process Duplicates" tool; however the tool crashes when
applied.

Can someone delete the image for good (it was reuploded under correct name) so
it does not show up in categories or duplicate tool?
