Hi, I built a website with hugo, but coming back to it after a month, it no longer builds, with a strange error:

alex@toaster:~/src/alpaca-site$ hugo serve
Start building sites … 
hugo v0.101.0-466fa43c16709b4483689930a4f9ac8add5c9f66+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2022-06-16T07:09:16Z VendorInfo=gohugoio
ERROR 2022/09/17 11:37:17 Couldn't find `%!s(<nil>)` in the `assets/media/` folder - please add it.
Error: Error building site: logged 1 error(s)
Built in 341 ms

Any suggestions much appreciated!

You deleted assets/media/coders.jpg one month ago:
https://github.com/algopattern/alpaca-site/commit/06dec99013e164fc362271f8aa1f6def1e4d04d3

But your content still contains a reference to the deleted file:
