The document discusses a completed project, Xlog, and addresses an issue where the Obsidian library cannot be opened on mobile, remaining stuck on the loading cache screen. The potential cause is the presence of 0-byte files, often created by apps like Reading World when they set the bookshelf directory to the library. To resolve this, users should use the Everything tool to display all files in the library directory, sort them by size, and delete any 0-byte files. If that doesn't work, they can delete the `workspace-mobile` folder in the `.obsidian` directory, which will prompt Obsidian to recreate it upon reopening. As a last resort, users can uninstall and reinstall the Obsidian app on their mobile device.

What to do if the Obsidian library cannot be opened on the mobile phone and is stuck on the loading cache screen?#

Possible reason: There are 0 size files in the library, especially hidden files
For example, after installing the Jingdu Tianxia APP on the phone, the bookshelf file directory is set to the library, resulting in 0 size files in the library
Solution: Use Everything to display all files in the library directory, sort them by size, and delete the 0 size files
Additional solution: If the above does not work, delete the workspace-mobile folder in the .obsidian folder in the library, then reopen Obsidian to rebuild it
Enhanced solution: If it still does not work, you can uninstall the mobile Obsidian and reinstall it
