Excluded files still show up in Linked Mentions

What I’m trying to do

I use Obsidian together with Logseq, and Logseq has a folder under the main vault called logseq/ that stores bak files. I want to exclude that folder from Obsidian, not showing up on anywhere including search, backlink, linked mentions, etc.

Things I have tried

I’ve added the logseq/ under Excluded files in File and Links Setting. However, these files still show up in Linked Mentions as shown, the “.Desktop” file is under main_vault/logseq/. I’ve rebuild the index and the results are the same.


Still didn’t find a way to exclude them… plz help

Tips on how to use Excluded files (folders):

  • Don’t use quotes.
  • This is how you exclude files with regex: /.*\.txt/ - For example, this excludes all files with txt extension. You flank the regex with slashes but no quotes.
  • For folders, you don’t need to enter the exact path anymore like before. You just pick the folders from the pop-up, so in your case, you type log and you’ll see the folders being filtered to your folder and you click on it. logseq/bak seems correct btw, provided logseq is in the root folder of the vault.
