Error While Uploading, hidden file somewhere conflicting?

I was in the process of uploading some files to Acrobat.com, most worked but a couple of them failed. The progress bar in the upper right disappeared, but my files weren't showing. Figured there was just a problem with the file, so I tried to upload again, one at a time. It uploaded and then said a file exists with that name already and do I want to delete new, delete previous or rename the new one. I say to delete the one that was previously uploaded, and my file now appears with a " (1)" added to the file name. When I try to rename it to the correct name the error it gives is: "Could not complete your request (400) - An error occurred while trying to complete your request, and it could not be completed."

Is there a way to see hidden files or files that errored so I can clear them out to start fresh?

    Yep, that did the trick. I just moved each file that I new was fine to another folder, deleted the ones that were bad that I needed to rename so the folder looked empty. Deleted that old folder then when I uploaded the same files to the new one they go in just fine. Thanks for the suggestion, got me thinking.

    Hi UnruleyOne,

    Please try clearing the browser cache, and check cloud.acrobat.com/files to see whether your files have uploaded. I suspect they're there, and that you have several copies uploaded. If so, please try deleting any duplicates and uploading again.


    Let us know how it goes.


    Best,

    I was thinking the same thing, hoping there was some hidden way to get at the files.

    I tried going through incognito mode and through a separate browser that had never been to any Adobe site, same error when I tried to rename.

    I think I'll try to move the files I know are good to another folder then delete the folder where these annoying files are hidden. I would think that would get rid of them then I can start over. I'll let you know.
