Whenever I open my main Scrivener project, I get this warning:
Files were recovered.
While the project was opening, files were detected within the project package that do not exist in the binder. This may have been caused by a permissions conflict, in which the file system refused the deletion of files from inside the .scriv package that had been deleted from the project binder, or by synchronization between different versions of the project (e.g. on a cloud service).
The recovered files can be found in the “Recovered Files” folder at the bottom of the binder.
And when I close that warning and the project opens, there is a “recovered files” entry in the binder with a blank “Data” file.
I’ve opened the project (fully locally) and attempted to remove the blank file (via the Trash) and save/rebuild the indexes, but the issue continues to re-occur. While this is likely due to having the project saved to a shared drive, I’ve moved the entire thing to a purely local directory (C:\Users[me]) and the issue persists, despite all attempts to correct it (Yes, I saved a backup).
While I’m not suffering any data loss and can continue to work on the project, this is highly annoying and I’d like to try to fix it so I don’t have to deal with the recovered file every time I open the project. I’ve found a few old, dead threads with the same issue, but no answers. If anyone can help, I’d really appreciate it!
