**AnkiHub error notification keeps popping up every time I open/close the app or try to sync. Not sure what’s going on but would appreciate any help!

Try removing the “AnKingOverhaul (AnKing / AnKingMed)” the notetype from Tools > Manage Notetypes if it’s unused.

3

It’s in use, so I don’t think I’d be able to remove it without deleting some cards

4

The logs show that the notetype has only “Front” and “Back” fields, which is not how the AnKing notetype is structured, so I assume the cards are broken and you didn’t review any of them. If so, deleting the notetype (with the cards) and syncing again should fix the issue.

We’ll look into why the notetype ended up like this.
