My obsidian keeps almost randomly deleting files. It seemed to be mostly happening with older files, but now it’s even doing it with files I’ve recently edited. Today, I found a file I edit on an almost daily basis got deleted. I added content to it on Friday, restored it from sync backup this morning, and while editing it it deleted before my eyes. Every time I restore it, it goes away again. What on earth is happening here? Seems to be related to sync, but I can’t figure it out.
I’m on MacOS Sonoma, and syncing to Android 13. I don’t use iCloud.
Things I have tried
Restoring the file, editing the file, changing sync settings.
