Inventory Missing Items

[lasorii]

Hi! I updated my viewer today & started a disk defrag - I'm not sure exactly when it happened but while the defrag was happening, I saw that my inventory went from around 22k items to 6.7k items. I've been looking around for answers & already tried clearing the cache. Is there anything else I can do?

Your inventory isn't stored locally on your hard drive. So running a defrag and noticing inventory loss rather seems like a coincidence.

Carefully working through the "inventory loss" guide on the Firestorm Wiki is a very good approach in your situation. If you are worried about your drive's health, check for a tool like CrystalDiskInfo and check its status.

Besides that, I would have cleared your cache folder before defragging, so that a new load would have neatly lined up on the rearranged drive, but well.

They have been running inventory maintenance all morning.  You may need to relog and or clear your inventory cache.  

 

There is also a very good page on the Firestorm wiki called inventory loss.

Thank you both for the help- I ended up using the Firestorm page's link to the SL wiki page and and deleted a file that had to be remade. Thanks so much!

I had to do that once also.    It is an easy fix but you need to know about it. Glad that worked for you.
