In most +cases this works well as there is only a single version. However, due to +retries while uploading it is possible for multiple file versions to be stored +at B2. This can lead to various problems if files still exist that should have +been deleted. + +We have changed the implementation to delete all of them. This doubles the +number of Class B transactions necessary to delete files. + +https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3161 +https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3885
