Because of a legacy file system, some files might disappear from your graph if they are no longer linked to any objects. But fear not; all of your files are still there. We are working on [fixing the problem](https://community.anytype.io/t/are-unlinked-images-automatically-deleted/10810/3?u=isle9) already.
