Link not found

Error message

Link not found

What it means

A lookup/type guard in removeLink: it fetches linkId and requires the record to exist and NOT be a folder (links are doc/tag/collection entries). It fires when a link removal is requested for an id that is missing or designates a folder — use removeFolder for folders; the faulting input is the linkId argument.

Solutions

1. Verify the link node exists; refresh the tree.
2. Recreate the link if it was removed.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown by removeLink when the linkId is absent from the folders DB or points to a folder node rather than a doc/tag/collection link.

Common situations: Triggered when removing a link entry that no longer exists or is actually a folder. Refresh the sidebar and retry removing the correct item.
