Rclone creates "empty" folders!

I did and found nothing.

It seems likely then that the cron job is creating these folders. Can you look in its log /home/USER/logs/rclone-sbit-tv02-up.txt
and see if those names are mentioned there?

But nothing seems weird about the logs i checked them earlier...

I think they only way we'll get to the bottom of this is if you can reproduce the problem reliably. Once you've done that then you can add -vv --dump bodies to your command and we can see exactly what is going on.

the rclone-sbit-tv02-up.txt is 623mb and rclone-m-up-Radarr.txt (wich makes the strange folders) is 6gb big. I cant open them :slight_smile:

Can you use grep to find lines with the names of the directories created?

Sorry, i deleted these big files yesterday. I couldnt open Notepad++ becuse i tried to open these files...

Thank you "ncw" for trying to help me. Do you or anyone else have any more ideas to fix this?

I really need to see a log with -vv of a run which caused one of these directories to be created.

If you can make one and email it (or a link) to nick@craig-wood.com with a link to this forum page, I'll take a look!
