filen rclone purge filen:FilenDrive/images hangs

[bylowerik]

Version

v0.2.5

Platform

linux-x64

What happened and how?

I am not able to purge directories using filen rclone from Ubuntu.

I have run this and that seems to work as expected:

filen rclone purge filen:FilenDrive/images -vv --dry-run
2026/01/31 16:02:15 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.71.0-DEV" starting with parameters ["/home/erikbylow/.config/filen-cli/rclone/rclone-v1.70.0-filen.14-linux-amd64" "--config" "/home/erikbylow/.config/filen-cli/rclone/rclone.conf" "purge" "filen:FilenDrive/images" "-vv" "--dry-run"]

2026/01/31 16:02:15 DEBUG : 6 go routines active

But when I remove --dry-run it just hangs:

❯ filen rclone purge filen:FilenDrive/images -vv

What did you expect to happen?

I expect the folder to be deleted.

I am new to rclone and filen, but I have managed to copy data to my FIlenDrive so I think it is correctly setup.

Additional environment details and context

No response

I just released v0.2.6, which uses a newer version of Rclone. Maybe that helps?
