Error on clicking "options" button of my deck

Anki Help
1

I had installed “Speed focus mode” addon, and when i press ‘option’ button of a sub-deck, it shows an error, details of which i have put below.
The first thing i did was, “tools → check database”, but no success.
I tried unistalling the speed focus mode add on. but even after unistalling that addon, this error persists.
Then i created a new test profile. This error didnt occur in that test profile, even with (or without) the add on installed.
i dont know what to do. can anybody help?
i have included details about the error, here below. thanks a lot for the help.

Did you try the Tools > Check Database menu item?

Yes, i did that. No success.

Also, i tried creating new profile, and then installing the same add on. But then this error didnt occur in this test profile.

Also, thanks a lot for taking the efforts to solve my problem. Really appreciate it.

You have a normal deck nested under a filtered deck, which is invalid. Moving it back to the top level should fix it. Do you remember how you got the deck into that state?

Thank you so much for this help. You’re a saviour.

Actually no, i dont remember how did i get this deck into this state. I used ankidroid to setup my anki account and most of its basics, as well as basics of the app; and I was totally new to anki then. Btw I am still new to anki as of now.

Can you please help me solve this issue? Totally appreciate your efforts.

Okay i got it figured out how to move a deck from sub-decks to the main decks, from youtube. The problem got solved after that. :hugs::tada:

You, saved, me! :raised_hands::pray:
So grateful to you. Cannot thank you enough.
