Can I delete a file from outside a vault?

Hi~

As said, I rclone a vault from google drive to another google drive.

But a file seems corrupted or something and so rclone halt.

I would like to delete that single file if possible.

Can i simply delete the encrypted file without corrupting the vault?

Thanks.

Is that OK?

Yes, in gerneral you can delete single files without corrupting other parts of the vault. There are two exceptions:

  1. Inside the d directory you can not delete files that start with a 0 (zero). Deleting such a file would delete a whole directory, as it contains data required to decrypt the path of a directory.
  2. Inside the m directory there are files needed to decrypt very long file names. Deleting such a file may cause problems when accessing the directory containing the long-named file.
