It took me a long time to pinpoint this issue, but I finally narrowed it down to Filefield Paths.

If the Filefield Paths module is enabled (even if it is not being used), then clicking the "Remove" button while editing a node deletes the actual file off the server, even if other nodes are still referencing it. I tried both versions of Filefield Paths (6.x-1.2 and 6.x-1.x-dev) and got the same result. I only tested it with images.

Should probably be in the FileField Paths queue, right?

Hmm, very curious. Not something that I would expect to be related to FileField Paths, but I will certainly look into the issue and see what I can find.

I can definitely confirm that this is the case, not sure exactly why it's happening through, so will look further into it.
