dadoph 0 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I've set up a watch folder in Evernote, and the auto upload function is working correctly. However, after files are uploaded they aren't being deleted from the watch folder. I have set the action to "Delete" but it's not happening. This results in duplicate notes if I do not manually delete the files from the watch folder. How do I correct this problem? Thanks. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted February 3, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 3, 2018 Not sure, but try a File - Exit and restart EN to see if that helps. The below works fine for me. Link to comment
dadoph 0 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Mine looks just like yours. And, Evernote restarts when I shutdown and restart the computer. Not sure what to do other than maybe remove the folder and re-add it? Link to comment

Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted February 4, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 4, 2018 The only thing that I can think of is that perhaps the files you've added to the import folder are in use by some other application, and therefore can't be deleted? Or maybe the file permissions on the files somehow prevent deletion? I'll test that if I get a chance. It seems like you'd get a warning for that, I suppose. You should check the Activity Log for the time that you added a file. (Help / Activity File) Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,643 Posted February 4, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 4, 2018 I had this experience a couple of times - it can depend on the app you're using to process these files before moving them to the upload folder. If the file is still locked by that app, Evernote won't (can't) delete it. Some word processors and email clients are very possessive of their allegedly completed content - not sure if its still the case but I've had to close Word down to 'release' a file before now, and I had problems with scanning direct to that folder - the scanner creates a new file when it starts the process. Evernote immediately tries to grab it, even if there's no content yet. Link to comment
qofmiwok 12 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'm having the same problems. Trying to import several folders. Some partially imported and others not at all. Deleted and readded one and that worked, but tried that with another and it didn't work. According to my account summary I have 8 hours left in this month's downloads with 7.6GB remaining.

An import folder can (I think) be one folder deep - ie it can contain a folder which has files - and those files will go into Evernote as individual notes. Evernote doesn't do folder hierarchies, so there's nowhere for a folder structure to go. I keep my import folders simple. Each folder is linked to to a different notebook, and I use a utility called DropIt to strip files out of any other location and move them to the appropriate import folders as single files.

qofmiwok 12 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yes, I did that right. Did them all the same but some imported partially, some entirely, and some not at all. I have a support ticket going. Link to comment
