[SOLVED] WARN MissingDirectory path / Unable to rename or delete a folder

Hello,

i have a problem with my Cryptomator Container.
–> I´m unable to delete or rename a Folder in it.

The sanitizer reports:

1 problem(s) found.
WARN  MissingDirectory path: d\EX\QEHFP4CAWLFK5CZDGQ3VQVCCNDT26B dirfile: d\P4\QZPPLFOGVJURRZOGK2KAWQLMM3OI5A\0EIOXS44YCN26MGB3O64VVH76WCIA==== notADirectoryButExists: false
INFO  RootExists d\P4\QZPPLFOGVJURRZOGK2KAWQLMM3OI5A

In the first run i had delete more that 1000 orphan Metadata files

But the Error with the “WARN MissingDirectory path” still exists.
I´m using Mountain Duck under Windows 10 1803. My Vault is in the OneDrive Cloud.
I´m running the latest Cryptomator, Mountain Duck, sanitizer Version.

Is there a way to fix this problem ? Do you need more logs or informations ?
Thanks for any help!

MissingDirectory can’t be fixed automatically.

In your case, a directory file exists at this location:

d\P4\QZPPLFOGVJURRZOGK2KAWQLMM3OI5A\0EIOXS44YCN26MGB3O64VVH76WCIA====

But the corresponding directory does not exist:

d\EX\QEHFP4CAWLFK5CZDGQ3VQVCCNDT26B

This could be the folder that you were trying to delete or rename.

  • If you’d like to delete the folder, delete the directory file d\P4\QZPPLFOGVJURRZOGK2KAWQLMM3OI5A\0EIOXS44YCN26MGB3O64VVH76WCIA==== manually.
  • If you’d like to rename the folder, you need to restore the missing directory d\EX\QEHFP4CAWLFK5CZDGQ3VQVCCNDT26B.
    • Either you can find the missing directory d\EX\QEHFP4CAWLFK5CZDGQ3VQVCCNDT26B. Maybe the directory has something like (1) at the end due to a sync conflict.
    • Or create an empty directory d\EX\QEHFP4CAWLFK5CZDGQ3VQVCCNDT26B manually.

Thank you, Tobi.
I deleted the file as you described and the corrupt folder is gone.

Problem solved.
