On an update dig, ht://Dig starts off by checking all of the previous
URLs. But if you're getting "broken link" reports for these deleted files,
I would say that's a bug.

Try adding <meta name="robots" contents="noindex,follow"> tags to these
pages. These will tell ht://Dig and other robots that support the tags to
follow links but not index the pages.

Not at the moment. It seems to be a hot topic. :-)
