ChrisDen Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Why do pocket queries deleted on geocaching.com still appear in the list of available PQs? It appears to be a API problem as I have found this the case in other apps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidegoseek Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 A downloaded PQ file doesn't get deleted when you delete the underlying PQ criteria. The file will be available for six days, then it will disappear from your list on Cachly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about when I go into the geocaching.com pocket query page and delete the PQ and the related file that is normally available for 7 days. If you delete the file on the second tab (Pocket queries ready for download) it disappears from the list of available files on the web site but does not disappear on cachly or other caching apps.

Actually, just testing this, deleting PQs form the downloaded section on the website, then refreshing in Cachly correctly removed them from the available list in Cachly. Can you still reproduce the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisDen Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Not working for me. When you say refresh the PQ do you mean just pulling down the screen when at the PQ list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisDen Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Strange - I have 19 PQ's ready to download including the "My Finds" PQ which does not appear in cachly and I have 25 in cachly. I have refreshed numerous times, even exited cachly and come back in but the 25 are still there. Do groundspeak have any distributed servers? I wonder if we are running off a mirror that does not update regularly. I am on the other side of the globe. I will have to get one of my fellow cachers in South Africa to test.

ChrisDen Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Just for info the deleted PQs appear on the official app as well Nic Hubbard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisDen Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 ... and the issue has gone on Cachly and other apps so it was a GHQ issue that they must have resolved. Nic Hubbard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
