I added a path to my local images which bloated my Sync to 50gb+. I’ve excluded the path in Sync settings. But the synced size does not update. I remains the same after updating the excluded bloating path.
How do I make sure it will take effect and flush the path out from the Sync process? Its been several days.
Do i need to remove my devices from sync and resync from scratch? Complete reset?
ok, i’ve sort of dealt with most of it. ive remove the symlinks. ive deleted the cache. restarted Obsidian but the deleted files locally are staying on the could after deletion. So maybe i need to delete the backup on Sync completely. or the cloud vault. and start fresh. but i dont see option to delete the cloud synced vault.
does anybody know how this can be done?
Once you’ve disconnected your devices from the remote vault, I think that’s when you get the option to delete it.
Otherwise, the quickest way to flush files from your Sync storage is to make Sync treat them as deleted. So instead of excluding them from syncing, move them out of the vault (or just delete the symlinks in place) while Sync is watching them.
I don’t recall whether deleting clears the history immediately (it might), but version history for attachments is two weeks, so at most they’ll stop impacting your limit after that.
For attachments, older versions are stored for two weeks. (Version history - Obsidian Help)
The part I was not clear on: Is version history maintained when the attachment is deleted, or only when the attachment is edited or replaced?
But now that you point it out, I guess there’s no reason for me to think attachments are treated differently from notes in that regard. Only the time frame is different.
Thanks.
