As per thread title, when that “database corruption” bug occurred in 17.5, loads of old greyed out files appeared in the recently deleted folder on both my new iPads, but not my iPhone or Mac. Anyone experienced the same and successfully removed them? 17.5.1 didn’t solve it. I updated to the point release immediately and naively hoped they’d just vanish at some point.

Right clicking the files give me the option of get info & copy, neither of which do anything.

I recall someone mentioned a command to run in Terminal on Mac but I never got around to trying it, and I’m not sure that would be useful as said files never appear on Mac. Although I assume they do exist in some form in my iCloud account, both iPads were new and restored from the same original iCloud backup of my old iPad. Hope that makes sense.

Any suggestions?
