Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

Nextcloud version: 14.0.1.1
Operating system and version: Ubuntu Server 16.04
Nginx: 1.10.3
PHP version: 7.0.32

The issue you are facing: If you create file or directory with the ‘%’ symbol in the name, next time you refresh the page, Nextcloud will infinitely load contents of the directory. This can be fixed by deleting the file in console. If you now delete the folder, then everything is working fine in the recycle bin.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?: Yes

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Create folder
  2. Create file or folder with ‘%’ in this folder
  3. Profit

This seems to be a known bug, there is already a fix which will be included in the next point release NC 14.0.4:
