@SgtPooki please can you help . I am a newbie

@warboy77 I can't see any obvious issues in the logs unfortunately.

the only thing I can think of is that there is some memory/rendering bug in files screen when rendering a large number of files, I will attempt to look at this when I can, but will be pretty busy in the next few weeks.

60GB is pretty large.. but it should be working. I recently added a large portion of the wikipedia mirror to my local repo (increased total files sizes from 3gb to something like 300gb) and experienced some bugs with rendering myself, but these were resolved simply by clicking outside of the files screen and back. Does that resolve your issue?

Can you see any files? The more information you provide around what is happening, the easier it will be to figure out what is happening so we can solve the issue.

I created a folder on IPFS and was loading the NFT pictures in batches. It got slower to open and load the folder after every batch. During the last upload, I just opened folder I created. Without waiting for all the images in it to load , I began uploading. After uploading, I restarted my system like I always do after every upload ... then the file stopped loading and was giving the 404 error. Is it advisable to uninstall and wipe data .. then reinstall and upload again? I happen to be in a rush Sir @SgtPooki . Thank you .. I

you should be able to access the files in MFS via the kubo API if you're familiar with the command line terminal. (Seems like you may be since you're referencing batching)

If your goal is to just add the content to ipfs, you may want to try adding via Kubo cli and then running the daemon and visualizing via the local gateway?

If not, the quickest way forward is to clear out your .ipfs directory and start over (if you don't have anything else you need to keep).

Unfortunately, I think loading the same data again will result in the same error with ipfs-desktop.

If you do find that a certain batch of NFTS (file/cid) is at fault, or that its specifically a certain data size, please let us know.

One other option you may try is splitting the nfts your adding into separate folders, instead of all in the same folder?

Thank you for your reply . Please I am not familiar with the command line terminal . Can you point me to any video or steps i can take. At this point I just want to add the remaining files and copy the CID number for pinning . I did not copy it earlier. Thank you

@warboy77 Are you still blocked?

1. Can you explain more about what you're doing?
2. How are you pinning your content?

if you're not familiar or comfortable with command line tools, I'm afraid it may be a while until we can unblock you, but you may be able to find others who have run into similar situations on discuss.ipfs.tech.
