Hi there! I see you’re facing the “collection too large for AnkiWeb sync” issue again after trying the solution from the previous thread. Let me help you resolve this recurring problem.

Based on the previous solution in that thread, I see that the original poster resolved their issue by:

  1. Exporting their deck
  2. Deleting it from their local Anki and AnkiWeb
  3. Reimporting the deck
  4. Syncing again

Since that solution only worked temporarily for you, let’s try a more comprehensive approach:

Steps to Reduce Collection Size:

  1. Clean up unused media files:

    • Go to Tools > Check Media
    • Delete any unused media files
    • Empty the trash

  2. Optimize your database:

    • Go to Tools > Check Database (this rebuilds and optimizes your collection)

  3. Consider removing large media files:

    • Large images or audio files can significantly increase your collection size
    • Consider replacing high-resolution images with compressed versions

  4. Check for hidden decks:

    • Look for any suspended or archived decks you don’t need

  5. Compress your collection:
    If the above doesn’t work, try this more advanced solution:

    • Export your entire collection as an .apkg file (File > Export)
    • Create a new profile in Anki
    • Import the .apkg file into the new profile
    • This often results in a smaller, optimized collection

  6. Last resort:
    If all else fails, you can try the original poster’s solution again:

    • Export your deck(s)
    • Delete your collection from both local Anki and AnkiWeb
    • Reimport your deck(s)
    • Sync with AnkiWeb

The collection size limit for AnkiWeb is around 300MB. If you continue to hit this limit, you might need to consider splitting your collection into separate profiles.

Does any of this help with your specific situation? Let me know if you need more details on any of these steps!
