+### Please describe the problem.
+I deleted a lot of files with "git rm" and now have the problem that I cannot delete the file-contents with annex dropunused.
+"git annex unused" shows correctly the files, then I delete them with "git annex dropunsed 1-1000" and the command
+returns Sucess/OK. When I go back to "git annex unused" all files are still there, altough they should have been deleted. 
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+Debian 11 Bullseye; git-annex version: 10.20220322-1~ndall+1 
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
