Keeping the attack vector aside, is there a fundamental issue here?
As a user, can I shoot myself in the foot by setting the same location to multiple images and when I delete one of these images, the others are now gone too ?

Essentially, should glance start treating the locations that were 'set' differently to the locations that it creates itself?
If a user sets the location on an image, then the data wasn't uploaded through Glance. So, why should Glance delete the data that it did not upload? Can we just 'unset'/soft-delete the location?
