Unclear How an image or file gets deleted from the conversation is not stated.
What
When a tool result held an image that was later deleted, Claude now sees a placeholder in its place. The placeholder says the result was there when the call ended and was removed later because the image it held was deleted. Claude is also told not to recover the image by opening its file path. Similar notes cover files named in earlier messages.
A tool call is a single action Claude takes, such as reading a file, and its result is what comes back.
Why
Claude knows the content is gone on purpose and does not try to fetch it back.
