When viewing the media content as thumbnails, I periodically see grey default thumbnails. Clicking on them gives a page not found error, "The requested page "/media//edit?destination=admin%2Fcontent%2Fmedia%2Fthumbnails&render=overlay" could not be found.

Cross-referencing these to the filename listing, I discovered one was gmap_markers.js created as node media/172, one was a pdf created as /media/613.

Why weren't they prevented from being added as media? Can I delete them? There are numerous people contributing media, I don't know who added them, how something so strange as the javascript got added, or what other invalid media are there, or if it's possible to link to the pdf from the media gallery.

Discovered that you can't delete gmap_markers.js; it erases the pins on my google map.

It means that the gmap module has saved it's JavaScript files as managed files. All that admin/content/media lists is every file listed in the {file_managed} table, which will include non-media files as well.

I guess #2 was a sufficient answer.
