Bulk Discard Suggestions Not Working

[squeakyarchie]

Ive tried discarding suggestions (192) by selecting them multiple times, but they are still right there.

Thanks for reporting this, and for including the number of suggestions — that helps.

A few things to check/try so we can narrow down what’s going on:

1. Confirm where you’re discarding

   • Are you discarding from:
     • The AnkiHub web “Suggestions” page, or
     • The Anki add-on (Suggestions tab) inside Anki?
   • Sometimes discarding in one place doesn’t visually update in the other until you refresh/sync.

2. After discarding, refresh/sync

   • On the web:
     • After bulk-discarding, do a hard refresh: Ctrl+F5 (Windows) / Cmd+Shift+R (Mac).
     • Also try logging out and back in.
   • In Anki (if discarding there):
     • Click AnkiHub → Sync after bulk-discarding to see if the list updates.

3. Check if they’re the same 192 suggestions

   • Sometimes the counter doesn’t update immediately, making it look like nothing changed.
   • Try discarding a small subset (e.g. 5–10 suggestions), then:
     • Refresh the page and see if those exact ones are still there.
     • If possible, note one specific field that should clearly disappear.

4. Try narrowing the list

   • If there are filters (e.g. by note type, deck, “only unreviewed suggestions”), try:
     • Apply a filter,
     • Select all in that filtered view,
     • Discard,
     • Refresh and see if that subset actually goes away.
   • This helps determine if the issue is with the bulk action or just the display/update.

5. Browser / add-on checks (if on web)

   • Try another browser (Chrome/Firefox/Edge) or an incognito/private window to rule out:
     • Caching issues
     • Browser extensions interfering with the bulk action

---

If you’re willing, could you reply with:

• Whether you’re discarding on web or inside Anki
• A short description of what you click (e.g. “Select all → Discard → confirm popup appears”)
• Whether the number of suggestions changes at all after a refresh

Based on that, we can decide if this is very likely a UI refresh bug or if the backend is not actually processing the discard, and then flag it to the AnkiHub team as a potential bug with your deck/suggestion set.

Hello,

I would be happy to help.

I haven’t heard from anyone else having the same issue recently, and tested a bulk rejection on my own on my end which seems to have gone through fine a few moments ago

Can you share a bit more detail about the specific difficulties you’re running into?

The more context you can share the easier it may be to be of help. Screenshots are ideal, if you can, just so I can see what you’re seeing

i got a bulk suggestion. if i delete them one by one they disappear from opn suggestions. but if i select all and bulk discard they stay unchanged. after your comment i tried again and 1st screenshot is filtered by the bulk suggestion ID. then i selected all and discarded, back on unfiltered suggestions home screen, i still see the bulk suggestions i just discarded, they are still there. i clicked on the bulk ID again and 190 open suggestions showed up again(2nd screenshot)

i just deleted one single suggestion and now the number is down to 189 from 190. but however way i try to bulk select and delete the suggestions by filtering from bulk id or by using the user who suggested the bulk edits, both times the discard doesnt work

[squeakyarchie]

now i tried without any filter. sorted 100 suggestions at once. selected all , bulk discard. no change. 206 suffestions before and 206 suggestions after.
