These images are stuck, can not be deleted by my script via the API or manually.

Is it ok if I delete these images manually? I can probably do it directly in the database. They have file names that never should have been allowed in the MediaWiki system. Reuben

They are now gone. Removed manually using their page IDs. http://www.wikihow.com/Category:Unlicensed-Images Reuben
