  • /e/ version: 2.3-t
  • Device model(s): beyond2lte
  • Developer mode enabled: yes
  • Device rooted: no
  • Trackers blocker enabled: yes

Summary

The Files app search results take an unusually long time (up to a minute) to refresh after items are deleted or removed. During this delay, deleted items remain in the search results, and tapping on any of them results in a "Can't open file" message.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Files app.
  2. Use the search function to find items.
  3. Delete one or more items from the search results.
  4. Observe that the list does not refresh immediately and continues to display the deleted items for up to a minute.
  5. Tap on any of the deleted items during this delay.
  6. A "Can't open file" message appears.

Expected behavior

The search results should refresh immediately after an item is deleted, with the deleted items no longer appearing in the list.

Actual behavior

The search results take up to a minute to refresh after items are deleted. During this delay, deleted items remain in the list, and tapping on them results in a "Can't open file" error message.
