Node.js install of TiddlyWiki doesn't delete files

[Ansel Santosa]

I'm running TW with the recommended node.js install. I can create new tiddlers just fine and make changes to old ones. But if I delete a tiddler, it doesn't delete the underlying data file and it just comes back on refresh. Similarly if I rename a tiddler, it creates the new one but the old one still exists under the old name.

In addition, if I delete a tiddler file manually, it persists on refresh unless I restart the server

Any ideas? Thanks!

Update: problem goes away if I use `$:/core/save/lazy-images` instead of `$:/core/save/lazy-all`

Do the tiddlers have content? Or are they "ghost" tiddlers? If ghosts, if you add content can you then delete them?

If you search the forum, there has been some discussion about problems with deleting tiddlers.

Good luck,
Mark

No they're not ghost tiddlers. They still have their full content. In the logs, I just never see a `syncer-server-filesystem: Dispatching 'delete' task:` message when I'm running in "lazy-all" mode

I had several problems when I created tiddlers with titles with question marks, colons, etc.
