Description

This bug has caused me considerable amounts of trouble.

If you upload a series of .jar's (for example a WebSphere runtime library of .jar's and a .pom that aggregates those .jar's) and make a mistake, you cannot delete the one uploaded artifact that you messed up.

I uploaded a pom file, but I accidentally left in -DgeneratePom=true. Now, I can't delete the pom artifact when I log in as admin and delete the artifact from the default internal repo. Archiva indicates that I successfully deleted the artifact (the green success bubble message appears at the top of the screen), but the artifact remains. It does not go away if I refresh the page, shift + refresh the page, or log out and log back in.

This forces me to delete the entire package to which I uploaded 40-something .jar artifacts. I have to start all over again.
