Out of Sync for files that don't exist

Hello guys,

About an hour ago, I added a new device and a new folder to sync with my main computer. However, I forgot to choose the subfolder and so immediately revoked the sharing and deleted the files.

After creating the .stfolder once more, it started syncing, but I’m now permanently out of sync? Original folder on device is 904.4 MB, and on my computer it shows local state 1.04 GiB, with 2.5 GiB that are out of sync, while on my device everything is up to date.

Even weirder, when I click on the out of sync items, it’s just empty, and the sync on my computer is stuck at 24% with no download or upload.

I tried the option “–reset-deltas” in terminal but no luck there either.

Any idea what’s happening and how I can solve it? I’m pretty sure it has to do with me deleting the files improperly (though I’m not entirely sure how to it right either), but not sure what I can do to solve this, and I’d like to avoid reseting the full database if possible.

Here’s the screenshots of the GUI on my computer and the “out of sync items” view (my other device is an android handheld so I can’t easily screenshot it, but the full folder is 904.5 MB).

Thank you for your help!

It’s likely https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/8018. Resetting just the deltas won’t help, you need to either remove and re-add the problematic folder or reset the database.

Thanks Tomasz,

After reading from your link, I went and made sure to do a clean delete and unsync of the folder, by restarting syncthing after deleting the folder in the GUI to make sure it was fully registered and didn’t try to restore some type of previous state, and it worked.

Cheers!
