Newly synced mobile device deleting all notes

[personalizedrefriger]

@Lyngbyi

but things looked awry: the number of items imported was five times the total number of notes and attachments that I have. I don't use tags or notebooks much, so the count looked very excessive.

Be aware that "items" in deleted remote items and created local items includes revisions, in addition to notes, tags, and resources. I'm linking two related posts:

• Joplin shows notice that notes are deleted - #2 by personalizedrefriger
• "Deleted remote items" looks scary. Clarify its meaning?

To summarize,

• Searching for DeleteAction in Joplin's logs should explain when and why different items were deleted during sync.
• deleted remote items can list a large number of non-note items when old revisions are removed. When revisions are removed is determined by the "keep note history for" setting in "settings" > "note history".
