Deleted Plugins comes back after reopen the app

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!

Please let me know what’s going on.

Moved to help for not following the bug report template.

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.

I use Obsidian sync no any third party sync. I doubt it is working properly for me

Are you certain? On Windows and Mac some of the main folders sync by default.

You could try sharing your “Show debug info”, especially what OS you are using. And where exactly are you storing your vault?

Hi @rigmarole I use MacOS (sequoia 15.5)

  1. I am very sure I do not user any third party plugin for sync
  2. I store my vault in Documents directory but I turned off iCloud option there many many years ago
  3. There was not issue but I think it started couple months ago
  4. I am not sure they are related but I found that my folder icons gone after reload the app.

I guess I can turn off the sync feature and try again and see if there is any issue

what are the file permission at OS level for the folder you can’t delete?

In Obsdian Console (Cmd-Opt-i) do you see any error when you attempt to uninstall the plugin?

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.
