I am trying to clean up my listings as my GS folder is about 15GB and I emptied my “deleted items” and then I saw that in my list of listings, there are a few lines with nothing showing and there is the Ipsum text when opening them.
I tried deleting them and nothing happens, only when I choose “move to” Trash, they move but then when I empty the trash, they go back in the main list.
The “lost and found” folder also seems to have corrupted in this way and I can’t get rid of the “empty noname folder”.
Is there a way to programatically erase those, or edit the DB file and remove those empty lines?
There seems to be an issue with your GarageSale database, unfortunately. GarageSale has a built-in repair mechanism that you can try, which may help you.
This is what you need to do:
Start GarageSale and immediately click and hold down the control-key on your keyboard.
A small window should appear allowing you to enable “Debug Options”.
Select “Repair hierarchy”, “Rebuild Indexes”, “Find orphaned listings” and “Remove ghost children from groups”, then hit Continue.
Give GarageSale some time to startup.
Check if a “Lost & Found” group has been created and check its content.
Maybe you’re lucky and the ghost listings can be found there so you can delete them.
Please make sure you have a backup before running the debug options!
