Missing Anking Cards

Unfortunately, my Anking deck shows only 28K cards and I’m missing approximately 7K+ cards. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to correct this? I’ve unsubscribed and resubscribed but have not found a resolution.

Thank you all for your help!

A few common things can cause this with the AnKing deck. Work through these in order:


1. Confirm which deck you actually have

There are multiple AnKing variants and generations (AnKingMed, AnKing Overhaul, STEP, etc.), and they all have different total card counts.

  • Go to Decks → click the gear next to your main AnKing deck → Browse
  • In the Browser, select the deck in the left sidebar and look at the card count in the bottom bar.
  • Compare that to the expected card count for that exact deck version in its AnkiHub listing.

If your count matches the listing for that version, then you may not actually be missing cards.


2. Make sure nothing is filtered out or in a different deck

Sometimes cards are there but not where or how you expect them:

  1. In the Browser, click on your main AnKing deck on the left.
  2. Check the ā€œSuspendedā€ and ā€œBuriedā€ columns (you may need to right‑click the column header area and enable them).
  3. Use the search bar with:
    • deck:"AnKing" (replace with your exact deck name)
    • Then try is:suspended, is:buried, is:new, etc. to see how cards are distributed.
  4. Also check for a Filtered Deck (blue icon) that might be temporarily holding some cards.

3. Verify AnkiHub sync is complete and error‑free

Since you’re using AnkiHub:

  1. In Anki, go to Tools → Add-ons → AnkiHub → Config / Open and make sure you’re logged into the correct AnkiHub account.
  2. On the AnkiHub web deck page for your AnKing deck, check the card count shown there.
  3. In Anki, click the AnkiHub button → Sync Now and wait for it to fully finish.
  4. Make sure AnkiWeb sync (the standard sync) has also completed and isn’t showing errors.

If AnkiHub shows ~35K cards for that deck, but your local Anki only shows ~28K after a clean AnkiHub sync, then something’s off locally.


4. Check for duplicates or partial imports

If you ever:

  • Imported a local .apkg first, then
  • Subscribed to the AnkiHub version later,

you might have some cards in a separate deck or with different note types.

In the Browser:

  • Search AnKing in the Deck column and look for other decks that might hold some of the ā€œmissingā€ cards.
  • Also sort by Note Type and check if some cards landed under a different note type (e.g., older AnKing note types).

5. Last resort: resubscribe the ā€œnuclearā€ way

If none of the above explains the missing ~7K cards, try this more aggressive reset:

  1. Back up first:
    • File → Export → ā€œAnki Collection Package (*.colpkg)ā€ (whole profile). Keep this safe.
  2. In Anki:
    • Delete the AnKing deck(s) entirely (including subdecks).
    • Sync with AnkiWeb and choose ā€œUpload to AnkiWebā€ when prompted (so AnkiWeb matches your local, now without AnKing).
  3. In AnkiHub:
    • Make sure you are subscribed to the correct AnKing deck.
  4. In Anki:
    • Use the AnkiHub add-on → Subscribe / Install deck again and let it fully download.
  5. After it finishes, confirm the card count again.

If you reply, please include:

To narrow it down quickly, can you post:

  1. A screenshot of:
    • Your Decks screen showing the AnKing deck with its card count.
  2. The exact deck name and version you subscribed to on AnkiHub (e.g., ā€œAnKingMed vX.X – AnkiHubā€).
  3. The card count shown on the AnkiHub deck page for that deck.

With those details, we can usually tell whether cards are truly missing or if it’s just a version / filtering / suspension issue.

Hello,

Try resetting local changes like this: Resetting Local Changes

After that, can you go to Browse in your Anki → on the left hand side go to tags → find #AK_Step1_v12, how many cards do you see there?
