How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

I tried to import from github react in my documents, the process was not completed successfully. I tried to delete the folder created with an import of about 3000 incompletely imported files, the operation has never finish. The folder and database regarding react was not deleted. although I waited more than an hour. A table in the database and a file folder should not take more than a second to be deleted. I understand that the import may have problems if there are files that cannot be downloaded for various reasons that may be related to github or that your application does not recognize an extension. But since your application cannot delete something that has already been created, I think there is an error somewhere. It is necessary to manually delete the folder from the cache, otherwise you get old until it deletes one by one. Multiple attempts to download a repo from github creates new folders even though it is the same version of the app, this seems absurd to me because if the download was not successful it should be able to be restarted instead of creating a new folder incomplete. A repo with a lot of files can have download problems it seems, and the application does not offer any reasonably successful solution. folders do not have search filters, so if you have several thousand files, it becomes impossible to find a file, so the "pin to workspace" option becomes useless. also there is no relative reference to the folders that are already in the cache so you can no longer know what you already have in the cache or not if you have several folders and several workspaces

Are there known steps to reproduce?
