Tried putting into the URL and still not finding the associated image. Is there any other way to find the image for this thumbnail? My goal is just to delete any reference to this image/thumbnail, because my server is rebooting every time I try to run the generate thumbnails job, and I suspect this is the reason.

my server is rebooting every time I try to run the generate thumbnails jobYou should've led with that lol Are you on a raspberry pi? Try setting
VIPS_NOVECTOR=1
@bo0tzz Thank you! I thought it was rebooting because of a missing/corrupted file, not because I am using a raspberry pi. Added
VIPS_NOVECTOR=1
and the rebooting stopped!This thread has been closed. To re-open, use the button below.
