Sorry for the dramatic start, but I’m going crazy!
Recently (I think it’s been a couple of months already), when I delete plugins and reopen the app, all my settings and plugins revert back! I was thinking it might be because of sync issues, but sync is working and the sync plugin option is enabled!
It’s unclear which syncing features you’re using, but I suspect it might be that deletions weren’t synced. Occasionally when i using third-party syncing tools, deleted files will be rolled back after deletion.
You could try disabling the syncing features before doing the operation, then check if files still magically reappear.
What do you mean by “my folder icons”, and what do you mean by “gone”? Where? Finder? An icon plugin in Obsidian?
Also, by the way, this was moved to help. it might still be helpful to fill in the bug report template. Give your “Show debug info” and any other info that might be helpful.
And lastly, are you triple-sure you aren’t using 3rd party sync? That would include on every device that you sync to, not just your main desktop.
