What issue do you have?

After an outage on ecloud (murena.io), I wanted to sync my notebooks from Windows to Android through ecloud. I exported everything from Windows (.jex) to a file and imported this file into the android app, where I wound up with two duplicates (I mistakingly imported everything twice, leaving me with "Folder", "Folder1", "Folder2"). The sync on Android shows that remote elements are being created, but nothing has shown up in Windows sofar. I havn't changed anything on Windows neither on Android yet. I am apprehensive of deleting anything lest I don't want these deletions synced, leaving me without anything.

What would be the best way to get rid of the duplicate notebooks on Android?

The issue seems to be a difficult one, as nobody has answered yet. Since my first post, I have developed some more questions:

  1. Is there a simple method to delete all content in the Windows app?
  2. Would this deletion be mirrored through the cloud on my Android device?
  3. Would restoring my backup file (*.jex) in the Windows App be mirrored in Joplin/Android?

The problem is as follows. In contrast to my first post, importing all data twice into the Android app has lead to the untoward situation that after sync, in the Windows app all notebooks appeared as before, but the twice imported data morphed into two duplicate notes which only show if "view all notebooks" is selected. Hence, "view all notebooks" shows every note three times.

After having deleted all notebooks, I want to delete the notes that lack notebooks. Unfortunately, the "delete" option is greyed out, hence not available.

What can I do in order to get rid of these notebookless notes?
