            Bug ID: 182261
           Summary: Deleted files reappear
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.14 - 4.8.4
          Hardware: Intel
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4
          Assignee: fs_ext4@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: shomari.sharpe@gmail.com
        Regression: No

Hi I have been noticing this problem intermittently for a while now starting
with kernel 3.14. Files I delete days/weeks ago reappear mysteriously and they
are fully intact. My most recent encounter is using my Xubuntu system with the
following config:

ext2 = /boot
luks/ext4 = / (root) 


I deleted 4.7.6 / 4.8.0 kernels from my boot and also the /lib/modules for each
and compiled and installed 4.8.4 only to notice that the files reappeared.

Did you uninstall the relevant Ubuntu package, or did you just delete
the fils using rm?  It could just simply be that Ubuntu was updating
to a newer version of that kernel version as it was updating other
packages on your system.
