Empty Cards - How to Fix Them

Hi @ebassey281,

I see you have blank cards appearing in your deck. This is a common issue in Anki, especially when using cloze deletion cards. Based on the screenshot you shared, it looks like you have cards with missing fields or cloze deletions.

How to fix this:

  1. In Anki, go to the Tools menu
  2. Click on Empty Cards
  3. Click Delete (leave the box ticked)

This will remove any cards that are missing required content.

If this doesn’t solve your issue, it might be because you’ve accidentally protected a text field in AnkiHub:

  1. Find your deck on AnkiHub
  2. Click the 3 dots in the top right corner
  3. Select Manage protected data
  4. Uncheck the text or extra field
  5. Save Changes
  6. In Anki desktop, go to Browse → click AnkiHub at the top → Reset local changes

For cloze deletion cards specifically, this issue often happens when cloze markers are missing or have been changed (for example, if a card that had multiple clozes like c1, c2, c3 now only has c1 repeated).

Let me know if these steps help resolve your problem!
