Getting revoking permissions error when trying to delete user list

[atangster]

When trying to delete a user list in Files

we are currently getting an error (not from MovieStar) which prevents the deletion operation from completing successfully

[revokePermissionsToRecipients] fileName: moviestar/data/user_lists
user webID: https://pods.solidcommunity.au/new-pod-1/profile/card#me
Error revoking permissions to recipients of user' note: Exception: Failed to load profile data! Try again in a while.

Seems coming from solidpod/solidui.

What appears to be happening:

1. When we delete a file via Files screen (SolidFile widget from solidui), it tries to clean up any sharing permissions for that file
2. revokePermissionsToRecipients attempts to load user's profile to find sharing metadata
3. This fails because either:

• Profile file doesn't exist (new POD that hasn't been fully initialised)
• Security key isn't set - profile may be encrypted and can't be read without key (relates to When trying to view files from File tab, getting security key exception error #323) - most likely
• POD session expired - auth token may have timed out

Potential fix (in solidpod/solidui) for revokePermissionsToRecipients function:

1. Check if security key is available before trying to load encrypted data.
2. Gracefully handle missing profile (skip revocation if file was never shared)
3. Not block file deletion if permission revocation fails for unshared files

root cause may be coming from solidpod revokePermissions function @cdawei @anushkavidanage
