Folder disappears from obsidian view but remains on the computer

I have in my obsidian folder 5 subfolders

However, when opening the obsidian app I only see 4 of them

Renaming the file in the file explorer helps for the single instance but the next time it happens again.
Creating a new folder with the same name from the obsidian window fails and has no effect on the view.
I tried to remove whatever seemed unnecessary in the files in .obsidian but it didn’t fix the problem.

I’d really appreciate help on this, it frustrates me a lot!

Thanks!

The dot folder .obsidian is not going to be shown, that is understood.
As for why the Inbox folder doesn’t show…do you use File Explorer++ or another plugin that can be set to hide folders?

Debug info needed from Command Palette.

You shouldn’t have to touch your vault preferences.

  • Maybe, for some reason, you added inbox to the folders to ignore? (Just an idea, I myself don’t use the ignore feature)
  • Or some plugin hides your inbox folder?

I use regular file explorer.
How do I get debug info?

I don’t have anything in the ignore folders. Moreover, if I rename the folder to “Inbox2” and back to “Inbox” it does show all of the sudden. But the next time I open it’s again not there.
The only plugins I have are core plugins, readwise, and mathjax.

Looks normal. But to find the bug, deactivate your plugins, activate safe mode in your community plugins settings. Reload. Did this help?

Otherwise, do you use some theme or CSS snippet with special keywords to hide your “inbox” ? Deactivate and reload, them check. If you have no custom theme / CSS or this didn’t help, read on.

Next, what happens if you change your inbox folder name to another name, just to see if it disappears too?

Use a random name, without “inbox”. Reload after renaming.

I’ve updated to the newest version of Obsidian and the problem for now seems to have disappeared. If it’ll happen again I’ll try all of these.

Thanks!
