This is a technicality - and it has not necessarily "broken the contract".
I think the correct thing to do would be to securely delete the metadata
referring to that file. That would satisfy the concept that there is no
evidence that the file ever existed in that location. The fact that it
actually does still legitimately exist elsewhere is not a caveat - it is
simply acting within standard behaviour.
