+`git annex drop` removes the file's content from the local repository.
+It does not affect other repositories, such as in your case the server.
+You could use `git annex drop --from origin` to remove the file from
+the origin repository.
+
+If `git annex unused` is not listing the deleted file as unused, there
+must be some git tag or branch that still refers to it.
+
+Also, `git annex dropunused` won't remove the last copy of a file unless you pass
+`--force`
