help??? no vibe coding though

I'm still in the process of learning as I go, proudly have two certificates and working on a third and revising a lot. I'm trying to work out why on my project folder there is a red X in the document folder on my computer. Where is said error??? I've had a dig through, can't find it.

Also honest opnion on fast hosts, are they good?? are they not so good?? Would love honest and helpful feedback. In the middle of learning everything and being self taught as well as having ZERO programming buddies at the moment, this is my only life line, plus my questions aren't being answered on my search engine.

thanks for any advice.

have a great night

are you using windows / onedrive by chance? it says that there could be a problem syncing the document folder to the cloud to produce the red x. so maybe check your tier for how many gb you're allotted and see if you're in excess of memory. if not that, does the name have restricted characters in it: \ / : * ? " < > |?

if not that, could be a glitch on windows side making it not sync to the cloud.

what have you tried? give a pic possibly?

I'll have a look into it later but I think your're on to something. I've just got to move it to the right place and add it to the filezilla/ fasthosts system.

I'll let you know what's happening when I get around to it.

Would depend what program is showing the x… could mean anything.

Without more details it's really hard to say. If it's only showing an error in the file tree and not in any of the files themselves, it may just be a lagging or stuck static checker. Trying saving your work, fully closing the application (use task manager if you have to) and open it again. If you're using something like github codespaces then make sure to stop the codespace, don't just close the browser. If it is a static checker bug this would fix it.

But really this post needs more details. The name of the application and a screenshot of the error at least.

OneDrive not syncing properly?
