Media not getting removed from the media library popup after clicking "Delete permanently" button

[adhun]

I encountered an issue while attempting to remove media from the Media Library popup in WordPress. Despite deleting the media file, it remains visible in the popup window, ideally the media should get removed automatically from the window once its deleted permanently.

1. Log in to the WordPress admin panel.
2. Navigate to the "Posts" section and select an existing post or create a new one.
3. Click on the "Set featured image" button within the post editor.
4. Try to delete a media from the window.
5. Even after deleting the media file, it remains visible in the popup window.

While I could replicate the said issue, I also noticed the text "Showing 2 of 1 media items" in the popup below the images list.

I'm afraid it is too late to add new tickets to the 6.3 milestone as we are in the Beta phase.

@mukesh27 Feel free to add it back if you think this should be in the milestone. :)

…icking "Delete permanently" button

Fix: media not getting removed from the media library popup after clicking "Delete permanently" button
Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/58730

[joedolson]

This needs to be tested in WP 6.2 and earlier; if it's a regression introduced in 6.3, then we can and should try to fix it in 6.3.

[adhun]

Hi @joedolsonbn,
i was able to reproduce this issue on 6.2.2 so this issue is there for a long time now.

[ugyensupport]

@joedolson As mentioned by @adhun Yes, can see in the current version and even in WordPress 6.3 RC 1. It's a well-known case which had been bothering me a lot. looking very forward to seeing a fix in near WordPress releases.

Patch needs refresh

[oglekler]

It looks like the patch needs a bit more work, I am adjusting keywords to indicate this.

[nicolefurlan]

@wpsharif are you able to update this patch? Release candidate 1 for 6.4 is in ~2 weeks, so I'm checking in on some in progress tickets.

[wpsharif]

@nicolefurlan I'm facing issue with 'npm install' on my machine. I just fixed it without test. I need help to move further.

[ugyensupport]

@wpsharif Looking very forward

With RC1 for 6.4 fast approaching this needs to move forward another milestone. Marking 6.5
