What issue do you have?

For some weeks (predating the latest releases) I have had a red "Conflicts" notebook. Whenever I click on it, Joplin hangs completely with a "Windows unresponsive" message. It hangs in the same way on my Android phone and Android tablet as well. Restarting in safe mode has not fixed it. It makes me wonder what is lurking in there. Is there some way to delete it? Everything else in Joplin is working absolutely fine.

Can you go to tools > synchronisation status, and check the count where is says 'Conflicted:'?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, it shows 1 Conflicted. See snipping attached.

Note, however, that I am also currently getting the sync problem which is associated with the latest releases of Joplin when targeting WebDAV (see second snipping). I think this must be a separate issue, because the one I report has been going on for much longer.

Any suggestions greatly welcomed!
