Error removing logo!

Error message

Error removing logo!

What it means

Thrown by removeCustomLogo in the AnythingLLM frontend when the request to /api/system/remove-logo responds non-2xx, with the fixed message 'Error removing logo!'. Note the fetch sets no method, so it defaults to GET — the route must accept that verb or every call fails regardless of state.

Solutions

1. Refresh branding state first — if the default logo is already active (isDefaultLogo() returns true), skip the call.
2. Confirm you are authenticated as an admin.
3. Check server storage permissions for the assets folder.
4. Check the Network tab status code; a 404/405 suggests a method/route mismatch on the server.

// run before System.removeCustomLogo
const isDefault = await System.isDefaultLogo();
if (isDefault) return; // no custom logo exists — nothing to remove

const { success, error } = await System.removeCustomLogo();
if (!success) {
  console.warn('removeCustomLogo failed:', error);
  // fall back to re-fetching branding state rather than blocking the UI
}
await refetchBranding();

When it happens

Trigger: Removing when no custom logo is currently set; a non-admin token hitting this system route; a filesystem error deleting the stored logo file.

Common situations: Clicking 'remove logo' twice; the logo was already reverted to default in another session; storage volume read-only after a container migration.

Understand the failure class

Background: 'Something went wrong' / 'Request failed (500)' / 'HTTP error! status: 404' — what failed HTTP requests actually mean and how to find the real cause — this error's family across 28 libraries.
