Describe the bug

When the "Download archive" setting is enabled and you remove a video (deleting the file as well) it doesn't remove it from the archive. This means that if I was trying to redownload a video because I specified the wrong resolution or something, it says "error: already downloaded" even though I deleted the video already.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download a video
  2. Remove it and delete the file
  3. Try to download it again
  4. See error

Error reports

Could not download file The video has been downloaded. If this is not the expected behavior, please check your download archive.
