Collection File is too large to send to AnkiWeb

[Danika_Dakika]

@samantha

I have deleted all the media files on ankiweb …

removed all of my addons

These things aren’t helping you –

• Media is not included in that size-limit. Are there limits on file sizes on AnkiWeb? - Anki FAQs
• Add-ons aren’t synced

But there are several things that you can try that will – Constant Errors Uploading / Sync - #4 by Danika_Dakika .

Are you trying to sync with the AnkiWeb account you just created today? Or do you have another one under a different address?

@samantha

and deleted all of my decks.

That should get you under the size-limit very quickly – but then what do you have left that you want to sync? Just the review history of your empty collection?

@samantha

I wasn’t able to force a sync in one direction.

What wasn’t working about that?

@samantha

The original issue that started this was that I was suspending and unsuspending cards and my cards kept multiplying and unsuspending everytime I opened and closed anki trying to fix the suspension problem and then this error message popped up

That is certainly concerning, but I think I know the behavior you’re seeing. It’s usually cured by running Check Database, and it is unlikely that it would cause your collection database to grow over the limit.
