New Issue

win7x64, gtx580
Blender Version
Broken: 2.8
Worked: 2.79

Short description of error
Some time ago, there was a Delete operator introduced to Outliner's Blender File view to "force delete" objects/data that are still linked outside of user's reach (to each other etc.).
It seems it doesn't always work now.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Expand Outliner->Objects,
context-menu ->Delete
Usually the object disappears immediately.
If it had selection disabled before scene deletion, it may do not display any effect and disappear after re-save.
But some, like these, remain regardless.

Can confirm for this particular file.
Not sure why this object still has a user, at least this is not a scene, think this is why Delete fails (@mont29: correct me if I'm wrong).
Now I think the question is: how did we get here?

@KonstantinsVisnevskis: any idea how we got into this situation? (e.g. deleting scenes the objects were part of or something similar)

if you are just looking for a way to get rid of these objects you can use python:

bpy.data.objects['col'].user_clear()
bpy.data.objects['arm'].user_clear()

Unless this doesnt ring a bell for @mont29 immediately, I guess we have to find a way to reproduce how to get into a situation like this (object still having a user), otherwise not sure what should really be fixed here...

I'll try to replicate it, but afaik the 'Delete' command was added in 'Blender File' view for cases like this - to force-remove the data if something goes wrong and it is considered used by something.

Issue here is that those objects are not referenced in any scene any more, only by some custom properties of the scene... Fix incoming.
