I am not a native english speaker and have never heard of the word lodge 
as a verb before.

It was intended as a reductio ad absurdum. I assumed a statement to be 
true and proved its absurdity.

Furthermore, all these expressions are actions, constituted by the verb 
of the action and a noun - the respective object.
Accordingly the meaning of the discussed statement should be obvious in 
the context.
If not, as it has been said before, I can't imagine somebody sending a 
deletion request with the serious intention to request a file.

If somebody though does so, we can in almost all cases not expect him to 
be able to follow or have followed the Installation- or Beginner's Guide.
