Windows 7 prof 64b - notebook dispersal problem

[BACS 1]

The Windows application shows multiple copies of each notebook and the content notes for each notebook are dispersed between separate notebook items (with same name).

 

This problem shows up only on my home installation, but not on my office workstation (same OS), and not on my Android phone.

 

Please help.  I have already ensured reinstallation of the latest version.

 

e.g.

 

Notebook1

> note a

 

Notebook1

> note b

 

Notebook1

> note c

 

rather than:

 

Notebook1

>note a

>note b

>note c

Hi.  Looks like your local database may be corrupted on the home machine.  If you have no unsynced notes and no local notebooks,  this means File > Exiting  Evernote and renaming the Databases folder to Databases.old.  Restart the application and the database will be rebuilt - this can take a little while if you have lots of notes;  do it when you don't need the app for a couple of hours.

Thank you for the guidance.

 

Although all notes are synced, most of them are local.

 

Please advise.

Would it be helpful if I renamed the database folder as you suggest, and then copy the database folder from my office workstation which has a similar file structure (similar folder tree)?

Hi again.  If your notes are synced,  then they can't be 'local' - my fault,  I was unclear.  https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005107

 

It's worth a try to copy another folder from the same account / same version of Evernote - just don't lose the original version,  just in case!

I'll give it a try.  Thanks.
