Hi, I have imported a folder a while ago and moved it to a different group in my database. Since many weeks the group gets recreated over and over again (without content) and I can’t really tell why and how to prevent this:

 ![CleanShot 2026-05-29 at 20.52.20@2x](https://devontech-discourse.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/3X/1/c/1c370db264690a9a465aa9c84941d3761fe8538c.png)

I’m deleting them but they do reappear again and again.  
How can I fix this? I guess this could be a sync hiccup but everything else syncs just fine. The groups also are synced to all my devices.

Check the `~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink/Inbox` folder. It’s almost assuredly in there.
