"Your database appears to be in an inconsistent state. Please use the Check Database action. No such deck. 1723223508553"

I have an anki deck with approximately 4,300 cards that I have spent a long time making.

All of a sudden, I cannot access it- I get the message: “Your database appears to be in an inconsistent state. Please use the Check Database action. No such deck. 1723223508553”. And all cards in the deck are “grayed out” when I click on “browse” and I cannot see them.

UPDATE: I used “Tools–> Check Database” and received the following message: “Fixed 4182 invalid card properties”, “Fixed 1 missing deck”, but now there are only approximately 100 cards in the deck out of the original 4300. How do I access the deck I made that has 4300 cards in it?

It sounds like those 4182 cards were probably moved to another deck – either a “recovered------” deck, or the “Default” deck. Do you see anything like that?

You can also try restoring an automatic backup from before the database issue – Restoring an Automatic Backup (Recovering from Data Loss) - Anki FAQs. The first thing you should do then is run Check Database.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. It is not in my default deck or another that I can find or search.

Am I able to restore just THAT specific deck with the 4300 cards from automatic backup, or will it restore all of my decks? I am asking because I have images on many cards and don’t want to lose them if I restore from backup for all of my decks.

Thank you

It will restore all of your cards, but you can do the import in a different profile and get the deck you want without losing anything else. Please read the FAQ section you were linked to.

As far as I know, media isn’t affected by importing a backup. The rest gets replaced by backup’s content, including scheduling data.

Check database didn’t report deleting them, so they should still be there. Have you tried looking in the browser, so your daily limits don’t apply?
