Rclone delete results in "can't limit to single files when using filters". I cannot see how my filters would affect this particular file. They are applied through environment variable.
Is there a way to ignore filters?
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.61.1
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Google Drive
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
You can't use file is a command as it's looking for a file name. If you want to glob things, you have to use filters. The path/file name syntax expects a valid full path or a single file. If you want to use file, you need to use a filter.
You'd want to most likely unset the environment variable for exclude and use and include filter I'd imagine as I'm not sure your exact use case.
I think what is happening here is that "**file**" is actually a path to a file, not a glob pattern. The way rclone does stuff on single files is to install a filter just for that file and if it detects already existing filters then you get the "can't limit to single files when using filters" error.
So unsetting RCLONE_EXCLUDE_FROM would fix this.
Rclone being a bit cleverer about existing filters would fix it too!
