Unable to clean a corrupt session

[rajneesh2k10]

I ended up with a corrupted session in auto-session after some weird order of closing nvim buffer, neo-tree, and outline. Now, now matter what I do, when I start neovim in that directory I always get the following error (I've redacted some parts) -

Note that auto-session is working fine in other directories.

51 buffers wiped out
Error detected while processing VimEnter Autocommands for "*":
auto-session ERROR: Error restoring session, disabling auto save.
Error: vim/_editor.lua:0: VimEnter Autocommands for "*"..script nvim_exec2() called at VimEnter Autocommands for "*":0../Users/***/.local/share/nvim/sessions/%2FUsers%2F***%2Fproject%2F
Fmanager.vim, line 81: Vim(fold):E16: Invalid range: 4,18fold

Here is what I have tried -

1. Re-installed auto-sessions, neo-tree, outline, and nvim-ufo.
2. Removed the session from /Users/xxx/.local/share/nvim/session.
3. I have tried to re-enable auto-session in that directory (which is disabled as per the error message).

I still get the same error.

I am unsure if the auto-session is saving the sessions at the location /Users/xxx/.local/share/nvim/session though because I cannot see ALL the sessions there. Also, I don't see the session corresponding to the one listed in the error message.

Any clues how can I debug it further or wipe all sessions and start fresh?

By default, sessions are stored in ~/.local/share/nvim/sessions (note the trailing s) so manually deleting the session file there will make the error go away.

You can also save a new session over the existing one via :SessionSave and as long as the error isn't in the current session, that will likely resolve it.

You can also delete the session for the current directory via :SessionDelete

Lastly, you can open the session picker via :SessionSearch and then delete the session by highlighting it and pressing ctrl-d.

Wow. I have been looking at wrong directory all this time. I previously used mini.sessions that stored sessions in ~/.local/share/nvim/session. I was cleaning up session from there instead - which of course didn't affect auto-sessions at all.

Thank you for your help!
