OneNote importer fails to show my files when attempting to import a second time #213

I imported my OneNote library and a bunch of my attachments failed to import. So thinking I would try again I deleted the OneNote folder that populated my Obsidian vault and tried importing again. Now when I sign into my MS account none of my OneNote folders or notes show up.

I'm encountering a similar issue on Windows 11, importing from OneDrive.

I'll break it down:

1 - I imported data from OneDrive using the Importer plugin.
2 - Then removed the Importer's permissions from OneDrive's Privacy Apps and Permissions settings, thinking the import was complete.
3 - Later I noticed that the import was incomplete and tried to import again.
4 - Did't work.
4 - Uninstalled and then reinstalled the Importer plugin to try and restart the permission and import process.
5 - Despite reinstalling the plugin and attempting to reset permissions (also restarted Obsidian and Windows), the import function no longer works as it initially did.

Questions:

  • Is there a specific file or folder I should delete or modify to reset the plugin's state and allow for a fresh import attempt?
  • Any tips on steps to properly reinstate permissions for the Importer plugin to access OneDrive after they've been revoked?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Update:

After uninstalling Obsidian and deleting the C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\obsidian directory for a clean installation, the plugin still fails to function as before.

I'm considering trying on a different computer without previous Obsidian installations, but don't have access with privacy to one.

Would appreciate any suggestions.

Just a guess:
I THINK Obsidian stores plugins and user-specific configs in the context of the vault (subdirectory ".obsidian"). Maybe you need to fix it in the Vault and not in Obsidian installation?
