Re: Why

"Why? They have meta-data inconsistencies? Big freaking deal, they're going to be deleted, what matter does the metadata mean in relation to a file that no longer exists?"

Maybe to make sure that it really was the data you thought it was?

If the meta data is broken then you don't actually know what is in the file - has someone tried to delete one file, but another has been selected due to the mixup?
