Cause

There was a problem retrieving the previous version of the Attachment data.

Resolution

Always backup your data before performing any modifications to the database.

  1. List the affected profile pictures:

    SELECT * from attachments where TITLE='<profile picture>' and CREATOR='<user>' and ATTACHMENT_COMMENT='Uploaded Profile Picture';
    
  2. Remove the record from the database:

    DELETE FROM attachments where ATTACHMENTID='<attachmentid>';
