Unable to delete orphan rem

Vagner_Mendes · May 3, 2021, 1:39pm

For some reason, I had a lot of random rems (about 100 or so) tagged with #orphan, so I started deleting all of them. During the process I experienced a lot of crashes, but was able to keep deleting them. however, now there’s 1 left and I can’t delete it, since every time i try to, remnote stops responding.

PS: I only noticed those rems because they started appearing on my global queue, without the correct hierarchy. Some of the were “copies” of flashcards that I made.

I’m currently using the web app on chrome. My chrome version is 90.0.4430.93

I previously encountered similar situations but not specific to orphan rems. I did not write up a bug report for those since I managed to resolve it in an indirect way. For some reason, it sometimes freeze when I try to get rid of tagged rems like yours.

Instead of deleting it via a portal, I try to locate the specific rem itself from the documents folder and right-click to delete it.

**Describe the bug** RemNote will crash whenever I try to delete rems with many… linked references. **To Reproduce** 1. Find a rem with many linked references ![delete](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10230857/115990509-371b3580-a5f6-11eb-9a3c-5b2cde74329c.png) 2. Try to delete using either backspacing the rem or click 'delete' from the rem menu on the left. 3. RemNote will freeze or crash, unable to click anything anywhere. I have to restart app or reload browser, and the 'to be deleted' rem will still be there.

The steps and behaviour are both quite similar, leading me to think it might be a deeper issue not isolated to deleting rems with many linked references. In both instances. trying to backspace delete will crash.

so the problem seems to deleting certain types of rem through the search portals?

Not only search portals as the erroneous behavior here is consistent with what I have:

Deleting Things Is Causing Remnote to Freeze

**Describe the bug** A clear and concise description of what the bug is. Whe…n I want to delete a document (Particularly ones that have references or tags), the program will freeze and a pop-up saying that the page has become unresponsive will appear. I won't be able to do anything after that, so I have to close out of Remnote and then open it back up. The things I wanted to delete don't delete when I restart the program though, so I'm just stuck with some different documents. When I want to delete things within a document, I noticed this same issue when I want to delete a portion that has references or tags linked to it. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: Go to my documents tab, right click on a document, and click on delete. Generally, it will freeze for a moment, then the pop-up saying the page is unresponsive will appear, and then I'll just have to close out of Remnote. **Expected behavior** I expected the program to just delete the document or portion of the document I wanted to delete without issue. **Screenshots** I don't know if this image upload worked, but basically it was just the pop-up on the screen saying on that the page is unresponsive. ![RemNote error](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/77427865/117057464-5428c600-acd2-11eb-8440-a85dd364efeb.jpeg) **Desktop (please complete the following information):** - OS: Windows 10 - Browser: Chrome - Version: (For Chrome) 90.0.4430.93 **Additional context** I think it mostly has to do with the things I want to delete having references or tags because everything I try to delete without them doesn't have this issue. This happens regardless of when I'm using the browser version of Remnote or the computer app.
