Maybe helpful, the console display when I try to delete a note:

Avoid using aria-hidden on a focused element or its ancestor. Consider using the inert attribute instead, which will also prevent focus.

3. See the error message after a few seconds : 'Deleting note id has failed. Note is locked.' and a bit later 'Editing session has expired. Please reload the page.'

Is it shared? Maybe locked because someone else was editng it at same time? Or open on another device/tab? Does it work if you try again later? Or after unlocking the file explictly (I believe occ files:scan -all unlocks for files, not sure if it's same for notes too)

Sep 11 '25 04:09 enjeck

Thanks @enjeck No it's not shared, and to be sure I stopped the NC Notes app on my smartphone and tried again to delete a note, for no better. Anyway, this is a clue. I mean could the NC Notes app on my smartphone hold a lock on notes?

I already had tried the "unlock files" occ command, sorry for not mentioning it before.

I found the note line in the oc_notes_meta table, but could not link it to any line in oc_file_locks.

I mean could the NC Notes app on my smartphone hold a lock on notes?

I guess so, if it's currently open at that time.

Sep 11 '25 06:09 enjeck

I wish it could be so, but even when I clear the storage on the smartphone app and stop it, the problem remains the same: still unable do delete a note via the web UI...

Is there actually no way to find out what is locking a note?

Sep 11 '25 06:09 manu-p

Or in other words, how to unlock notes?

Sep 11 '25 06:09 manu-p

Is there actually no way to find out what is locking a note?

Maybe we lock the file before attempting a delete, and if delete fails, the lock is never released? Not sure. Does your nextcloud.log say more

Sep 11 '25 07:09 enjeck

I posted the NC log at the end of my 1st post up here.

Hi, what information is missing to help solve this issue?

What, at the DB level can I do to unlock these locked notes?

Sep 21 '25 07:09 manu-p

Today I ran into the same issue, don't know how, though. I categorized my notes but in the beginning everything was fine.

I could not edit/delete notes via webdav, either. (Looked like it was Nextcloud related.) Creating and editing new notes worked, however. So only "older" notes were affected.

Updated my instance to check, if the problem was fixed, but it still existed.

Nextcloud 10 Hub (31.0.9); Hub 25 Autumn (32.0.0) Nextcloud Notes 4.12.3

I "solved" the problem by flushing the _file_locks table and starting a file check afterwards. https://help.nextcloud.com/t/file-is-locked-how-to-unlock/1883

Thank you @FpunktBpunkt it also worked for me... til the next time I'm afraid since it does not explain why the notes (their files in fact) were kept locked.

But at least, this workaround frees them.

I don't reckon the workaround is a solution, this is why I won't close this issue.
