How do I delete the items in the red/orange circle? They don't show up in the web editor. Right-clicking does nothing.
2.3.10
Maybe some explanation of the bigger picture might elicit some help.
What happens when you "click" on the greather-than symbol (folder)? Does the > point "down" and show a local file or folder containing something associated with the cloud folder/file (perhaps; data from the fridge)?
Also, see this link: How to delete empty folder? - #2 by ptillisch
@DaveEvans which operating system are you are (e.g., "Windows").
I ask for this information so that we can give you the appropriate instructions for your operating system.
Thank you. Windows it is.
The local copy of the Cloud Sketchbook is stored under the folder at this path on your hard drive:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\RemoteSketchbook\ArduinoCloud\<account UUID>
(Where <username> is your Windows username and <account UUID> is a random string of characters e.g., e47d8721-f9b6-4f49-b2e3-96dffdb5b98f)
If looking for it with your file manager or command line, note that the AppData folder is hidden by default. On Windows "File Explorer", you can make it visible by opening the "View" menu, then checking the box next to "☐ Hidden items".
Navigate to that folder using Windows File Explorer, then check to see if you find empty folders at the paths indicated by Arduino IDE's sketchbook view (i.e., fridgeControl\fridge01peltierNonBlock... and fridgeControl\fridge02direct). If yes, use File Explorer to delete those folders. Hopefully this will result in those unexpected items being persistently removed from the Arduino IDE sketchbook view.
Thank you. I found those folders (but they were not empty: both had a sketch of the same name in them, which is odd, because when I clicked on them in the IDE, nothing happened).
Anyway, I moved them out of the main fridgeControl folder, so it now looks like this in File Explorer:
Then I re-started the computer.
And in the IDE, one of the rogue folders is gone (yay), but "fridge01peltierNonBlocking..." remains:
And the web editor remains unchanged, as expected:
How to eliminate fridge01peltierNonBlocking... from the IDE list?
That is progress at least.
That is unfortunate.
If you go look in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\RemoteSketchbook\ArduinoCloud\<account UUID> folder again now, did the fridge01peltierNonBlocking... folder come back?
This might occur in the case where the strange folder is present in your sketchbook on the Arduino Cloud server. In this case, syncing the Arduino IDE Cloud sketchbook with your Arduino Cloud account would result in the folder coming back (since the local folder will mirror the content of the sketchbook on Arduino Cloud).
No, it did not come back. And the strange folder is not present in my sketchbook on the Arduino Cloud server.
What happens after you click the sync button at the bottom right hand corner of the Cloud Sketchbook view:
Does the mysterious "fridge01peltierNonBlocking..." item disappear from the sketchbook view after you do that?
If not, do you now find a folder in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\RemoteSketchbook\ArduinoCloud\<account UUID>\fridgeControl?
I understand it is not visible in the Arduino Cloud web interface. My hypothesis was that it might still be present in the filesystem of the server, but suppressed from the view on the website due to being invalid in some manner. Further evidence that there is something unusual about these folders is provided by the fact that Arduino IDE also doesn't display them in the usual manner.
By "a folder" I mean this folder shown in the screenshot you shared in post #8:
I don't know what the exact name of the folder is because you have your side panel width sized too small to fit the full folder name, resulting it being truncated in the Sketchbook view (thus the ...).
No, there's no "fridge01peltierNonBlocking" folder in the fridgeControl folder. Just the three shown in post #8 and #12 snips.
Any other things to check or do?
