@mrlee

When you install a HDRI that file is copied from your source location to the config folder of blender.

For example if you downloaded a file and it is stored in you download folder (in my case it is /home/jeroen/Downloads/MyPrettyHDRI.hdr).

You open Blender and add that file via the UI to the HDRI. Blender will make a copy of that file in your config folder; In my case that is /home/jeroen/.config/blender/2.80/datafiles/studiolights/world/MyPrettyHDRI.hdr. On windows this location is different, but you get the idea. When removing the HDRI via the UI only this copy of the file is removed. The original file should still be there /home/jeroen/Downloads/MyPrettyHDRI.hdr. This is how the system was designed. It is similar how presets are handled within blender.

If I understand you correctly your original file that you downloaded was deleted? eg /home/jeroen/Downloads/MyPrettyHDRI.hdr.

Yes, that is correct. I added the file from a location on my local machine, and when I removed the HDRI image from within Blender, the original file is deleted.

I haven't tried to reproduce this on a more recent build.

Well, I just tried it in today's build and I can no longer reproduce. So now it's working as expected.
