I went to change a folder name to “…” (my mistake lol). The folder no longer appears inside obsidian and I can’t open it anymore because now it’s an infinite path.
I have the folder backed up on github, my problem now is deleting the folder.
When I try to delete it, it appears that it is deleting thousands of items. Can I delete it without problems?
Can you not rename it by navigating to the folder and renaming it in your OS?
Can you show a screenshot or screen recording of what you mean by “it appears that it is deleting thousands of items”? Or a screenshot of what the folder looks like in your system’s file explorer?
Also what does “infinite path” mean?
EDIT: I just tested this on MacOS. I can navigate to the folder (in my OS, not in Obsidian), and rename the folder just fine. But I don’t know how that ... name would behave in Windows. If that’s your OS, chances are that it’s hiding the folder from you, (dot at the beginning of the means hidden) and you’ll have to configure Windows Explorer to show hidden dot files.
It is in Portuguese but it says it is deleting several items. I didn’t let it complete the deletion but if I leave it a few minutes it gets more than like 3gb.
