On Android. After trying to long press and share an image from a note, having Joplin freeze and needing a force-stop, all my notes are now missing their images. No errors in the log when trying to access notes. It's almost as if there's a lock of some sort, but I restarted the phone and have no imp…

If you have sync set up the easiest is probably to reinstall and sync from scratch. Before this use the export profile function and once you've exported the profile check the .resources folder to see if there are any files there. Have you checked logs? Anything suspicious there?

Thanks. Reinstall and simple re-sync worked. I did check and found that in fact the .resources were all missing. How could they have all been deleted from the mobile app? It's a great thing that change wasn't synced, but that possibility had me worried. I've exported a log and will take a closer lo…

[image] mzguy: In the meantime, any idea what sort of bug could cause an attempted "Share" invocation (or anything else) to delete all Android resources? This is a nasty bug! I have an idea actually. Do you remember the resource you've shared before this happened?

I replied in a private message with the exact resource that seemed to cause the issue.

I have lost access to all the images in Joplin on on my Android phone (Moto G5sPlus), they are available as items in the Dropbox sync account, and Joplin is working fine on my Linux PC (Manjaro - Cinnamon desktop). The structure of notebooks and the text of the notes is still intact on the phone. …

Clean the data or reinstall Android app completely and then sync with Dropbox again. The fix for this is in review atm.

Thanks, roman_r_m. It took me a while to realise that the data is not deleted when the app in uninstalled from Android. Each time I re-installed Joplin, the problem data was still there. I list my recovery steps below to help anyone else with the same problems. The only way to clear the data is …

[image] roman_r_m: I think it may be because of Android auto backup feature. Yes, I think that you are correct on that, so my method of clearing app data using Android Settings menu is the way to go.

[image] roman_r_m: No, Dropbox (or any other sync location) is not affected. I had lost a note off Android completely, when I cam to need it on the 11th March. I then found it was not available on Joplin Linux Desktop either. I restored it from my old Evernote data and used it fine. I coul…
