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

Can you reliably replicate it? (If so, please outline steps): no

The issue you are facing: Web view shows multiple (duplicate) files which is not consistent with sync client or looking at the file system.This is not happening in all directories. In the particular directory there was a file that was complaining in the sync client. The user mentioned it to me. I checked the file system and it wasn’t there. Tried to ‘delete’ using the web page (file not there) and all files that are there now show full path.

It’s like the web page is cached with old data and I can’t figure out how to clear. Tried clearing Apache (apache-htcacheclean), Redis w/o luck. I’ve tried scanning the system w/ occ for all users, particular users. Nothing seems out of place in oc_filecache.

When this started I was on 11.0.2 and moved to 11.0.4. Unless I hear something I’ll try moving to 12 and see if that helps.
