I have an iOS App which is localized and uses Crowdin. If I delete a localized .strings file (e.g. Temp.strings) and run crowdin upload --delete-obsolete afterwards, Temp.strings is not deleted in crowdin.
Instead, if I run crowdin download, now I get a Downloaded translations don't match the current project configuration. The translations for the following sources will be omitted warning for the deleted file (since it still exists in crowdin):
Obsolete file - is the file, that previously was “under” source pattern, and was uploaded into Crowdin, but, right now, locally (on your PC for example) there’s no such file, or it no longer matches the source pattern. There are no delays for a system to “recognize” the change, it is done instantly.
As a right-now solution, you can delete the file using this command:
Please share your project ID and the configuration file so I can check logs from my end and provide a more detailed explanation in case of need. You can do it privately, via Direct message.
