Hi Philipp,

in the first attempt, I quite strictly stuck to the videos offered at 
<https://jweiland.net/typo3-hosting/service/video-anleitungen/upgrade-auf-typo3-62.html>,
which recommend updating the ref. index before updating. In this
attempt, many (not all) images were afterwards no longer referenced by
fileadmin-links, but by items with ID numbers. 

However, the upgrade wizard's complaints about missing assets (which, as
mentioned, I probably had deleted years ago via FTP, after deleting them
from the content elements referencing them, of course) occured just the
same. Though deleting via FTP instead of using the filelist module may
be an undesired and not recommendable behavior *now*, I wasn't aware in
the past that this may trouble a future upgrade wizard. 

During the second upgrade attempt, I think I indeed didn't upgrade the
ref. index in the old version before upgrading. 

So, it indeed looks like a necessary third attempt, now trying to
closely watch all those approx. 389 detailed steps necessary to satisfy
the wizard. But somehow I fear I will forget another one this time, with
unexpected outcome.

Regards
