<body><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">A possible cause could be this bug:</p>

<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">The problem could not only occur when deleting images, but also when moving them. However, the problem will not be fixed until digiKam-7.6.0. But it could also have a completely different cause for you. Normally, rereading the metadata from the images in question can recover most of the metadata if it was stored in the images. Otherwise we need a debug log when the problem occurs, how to create it is described here: </p>
