Can't save a card in the right folder

Anki Help
1

Every card I create goes to a different folder than the one pretended. What can I do to fix it please?

There are a few things that you might be talking about –

  1. In the Add Note window, are you selecting the Deck (on the right) where you want the cards to be created? Adding/Editing - Anki Manual
  2. Is the Add Note window opening with the wrong Deck selected?
  3. Does your note type create multiple cards for each note, and are they going into separate decks?

  1. yes, of course I am selecting the right Deck I want to save my new Card.
  2. no, it opens the right Deck but once I save it it doesn’t go to the Deck I chose but to one called “Predetermined” (I didn’t pick this name, Anki did. I don’t have a Deck called Predetermined). I should say that what I just described only happens when I create a “Basic-c88be” Card. It goes to the right Deck if the card created was “Basic (and reversed card)”, but in this case I’ll have two cards saved instead of one: the first with the “front” showing first and the second card which the “back” showing first, if you know what I mean. However, this is not what I intended since when I study I just want to see the FRONT and then the BACK with the answer. I don’t want to see the BACK of the card.
  3. I hope I gave you enough details to solve this case. Thank you very much.

“Basic-c88be” is a note type that you imported with a shared deck, which means it could be different than the default “Basic” note type in any number of ways. It sounds like that deck author set a Deck Override for that note type to assign its card to another deck.

To avoid that, you can – (a) switch to using the default “Basic” note type instead – Notes > Change Note Type, or (b) turn off the Deck Override – Cards … > Options.
