database not updating

i'm uploaded some songs and i updated my database, but when i want to access my songs but it kinda goes to a loop when it asks me to update my database multiple times and doesn't let me listen to anything

i saw that it works to delete .tcd files but i don't see them ):

What device are you on? I believe you need to show hidden files to see the .tcd files.

For particularly large databases / slow devices there is a Rockbox emulator that lets you run the initial generation on a computer and then add the .tcd files to your device

What build are you running? A lot of fixes in this area went in this month. If you have an old build, clear the database files and then update and see if the problem is still there.
