The project "Xlog" is completed. If the Obsidian library cannot be opened on mobile and remains stuck on the loading cache screen, it may be due to the presence of zero-sized files, often created by apps like ReadEra. To resolve this, use Everything to display all files in the library, sort by size, and delete any zero-sized files. If that doesn't work, delete the "workspace-mobile" folder in the .obsidian directory, which will prompt Obsidian to rebuild it upon reopening. If issues persist, uninstalling and reinstalling the mobile version of Obsidian may help.

What to do if the Obsidian library cannot be opened on the mobile side and remains stuck on the loading cache screen?#

Possible reason: There are 0-byte files in the library, especially hidden files.
For example, after installing the Jingdu Tianxia APP on the phone, the bookshelf file directory was set to the library, resulting in the creation of 0-byte files in the library.
Solution: Use Everything to display all files in the library directory, sort them by size, and delete the 0-byte files.
Additional solution: If the above does not work, delete the workspace-mobile folder in the .obsidian folder in the library, then reopen Obsidian to rebuild it.
Reinforced solution: If it still does not work, you can uninstall the mobile Obsidian and reinstall it.
