I don’t know what I did, but for some time my space has had  
two libraries listed in treeview: “Library” and “LIBRARY”.

 ![2025-03-18_11-37](https://community.silverbullet.md/uploads/default/original/2X/8/87a801cf680caa1be36390cc6f1e25db7dd72bce.png)

There is a “Library” folder, but it’s empty. There is NO “LIBRARY” folder that I can find.

I recently upgraded both deno and SB and it didn’t affect it.

Is there something I can do or delete or re-download to remedy this?

Hmm, this is very odd. On the underlying file system do you see both as well? Perhaps there’s a LIBRARY and Library folder there?

I tried removing Treeview (thinking that maybe it was caching) but no joy.

can I delete the silverbullet.db? will it get re-built?

Yes, it will be rebuilt.

So I deleted the silverbullet.db\* files, shutdown and restarted deno, and when SB started up again it re-indexed everything. And now I have only one Library listed.

Looks like I lost a couple of “library-related” things, but it’ll be easy to re-do.

I think what happened was, I wanted the default Library to be LIBRARY (to match PLUGS, SETTINGS, and STYLES). So I created a LIBRARY folder but then I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of Library. So I left it for another day and never got around to fixing it.
