Hi @bryceliedtke,

It sounds like you’re encountering an issue with your Pepper deck where you’re getting exactly 30 cards per topic, with some cards having empty fields but still being created. This is a known issue that can happen when there’s a mismatch between how fields are set up and the actual content.

Here are some steps to fix this:

  1. Try the Empty Cards tool first:

    • Go to Tools in the Anki menu
    • Select Empty Cards
    • Click Delete (with the box ticked)

    This should remove cards that have no content but are still being generated.

  2. If that doesn’t work, the issue might be related to how cloze deletions are set up in the deck:

    • Sometimes when a card previously had multiple cloze deletions (like c1, c2, c3, etc.) but then they’re changed or removed, Anki still tries to create cards for those positions even though they’re empty.
    • The fixed number (30) per topic suggests there might be a template creating exactly that many cards regardless of content.

  3. Try completely reinstalling the deck:

    • Unsubscribe from AnkiHub
    • Delete the deck completely from your Anki
    • Clear your AnkiWeb sync data
    • Reinstall the latest version of the Pepper deck from AnkiHub

  4. Check card templates:

    • Browse to one of the problem cards
    • Click “Cards…” to view the template
    • Look for any issues in how cards are being generated

If these steps don’t resolve your issue, please provide:

  • Which exact Pepper deck you’re using (version/edition)
  • Screenshots of the card templates
  • Any error messages you get when using the Empty Cards tool

Let me know if this helps or if you need more specific assistance!
