Dear Support & All,
I have a very frustrating issue... Into the root folder I have a "ghost" folder (highlighted into the screenshot).
If I try to delete it, a popup ask me if I want to delete the folder, but a different folder name is written.
When I delete the folder, everything seems to be OK but when I switch to Online mode again, another folder with a different name appear.
When I delete the folder again, the popup show me the same name saw into the previous one (previous deletion) and the loop restarts....
RDM version is 14.3.1.0
DB is MariaDB 10.2.12 version
Is it a known issue and/or is there a workaround for it?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Maybe your database contains duplicate folders.
Could you please go in Help - Diagnostic - Data Source - Database Diagnostic and post a screen shot of the Summary and Virtual Folders tab of the Database Diagnostic report?

Dear Erica,
before to start from scratch and create a new database I investigated into it.
The issue was probably related to a database crash happened 2 month ago, in fact after the backup restore the issue started to frustrate me....
Into the table "connections", filtering it with the name of the old group folder, I found the entries that appeared one by one into the root folder
SELECT * FROM Connections where GroupName = '<xxx>'
After I compared the ID string and confirmed that they were the same I decided to delete all the 266 "ghost" folders.
In addition to this I found 2 entries with the same group name filtering it with the column "Name"
SELECT * FROM Connections where Name = '<xxx>'
Those entries had the timestamp of the incident and the time of the restore.
I deleted them.
The issue seems to be solved now, so we can close the case.
Thank you very much
Have a nice day
Best regards
