I'm interested in cleaning up local storage of files that I have in the cloud (webdav). Has this feature been released yet? Otherwise, is it safe to remove the Zotero/storage directory?

When people report this, it's almost invariably due to their running disk-cleaning software to free up disk space and accidentally deleting a large Zotero SQLite database file and the database backups

Thanks so much for the help, that was driving me crazy. The other admin is my student who is about to defend his thesis so I just found out he was doing some cleaning....

For instance, I am manually working on cleaning the fields to ensure the Zotero generates a bibliography correctly but just wanted to see if there are any useful tips or resources in doing that.

I have been using Zotero for a couple of years and was cleaning up my library by merging duplicate documents. It was working fine and then all of a sudden Zotero wouldn't merge any documents. Not only

That's good to hear. I too would find the ability to store/load/re-use javascript very useful (not necessarily as keyboard shortcuts though), for the code snippets I use to get things like lists of it

and I did not run any disk cleaning software that I am aware of!

Disk cleaning software on Mac has been known to delete the zotero.sqlite, so if that happens, there's not much we can do. You don't have a back-up in time machine or so?

They only thing I can think of that hapened since I alast openened it (yesterday) is that I deleted the zotero.dmg file while cleaning up my computer.

in the language field - is that correct? Just cleaning up my library now, so one more question - is there anything particular that is implied by a blank language field? Does it go to default en? Than

the articles includes libproxy. Currently, I am cleaning up the links by hand, as I do not want the libproxy-part to show in my bibliography.

When cleaning my library, it is often faster to import again the item from the publisher's webpage and delete the old item from my library instead of merging the items. I usually do not cite papers in

Is it possible to turn of cloud storage for some folders, without deleting them? Cleaning up more space for newer projects?

I was hoping you could offer some advice on the most efficient ways to bulk edit items. I'm cleaning a library of ~1700 items and I need to do several things:

I am cleaning a Zotero library that has +3,000 files marked as duplicates. I'd like to keep one version of each file, and I'd like this version to be defined by which folder the file is in.

This would support cleaning up complex collection structures ...

collection when you clean your library (spring cleaning).

This suggests that you did have the files on this computer. In that case, you likely ran some sort of disk-cleaning tool (even the built-in macOS one) to try to clear disk space and accidentally wiped

I tried restarting, then app-cleaning with reinstalling Zotero (and restarting) and also removing all add-ons, and the problem persists. It's working fine on my other computer.
