Thank you for doing the work of writing it up...

Baloo gets notified of the deletes, queues the info and then starts removing
the records. If you do the same again and watch with htop, you'll see
baloo_file working hard to "catch up" for a while after you've removed the
files.

I'll flag as a duplicate of 442453, it seems to be close enough

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I've made a copy of the index file in case its
useful to inspect it. If its a known issue, feel free to close.

Yes, it will have triggered Baloo... Baloo gets a notification for each
delete...

... and cleans the record in its index. It doesn't do that awfully well, it
treats each delete separately so it gives itself a lot of work.

In your situation, best to purge and reindex with a "balooctl6 purge". It won't
take long to build a filename/metadata index.
