”Recents” folder deletes itself daily. Have only 1 file in “Recents”
HomePod mini, 16
I don’t think the logs can pinpoint anything. Reindex Spotlight and see if the folder gets repopulated.
The only items that it finds are primarily items you open in the Finder.
Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support
Recents is a Smart Folder (search folder). It shows items that were opened in the Finder.
If it is losing items, it is likely because the Spotlight index is corrupt.
Can the Logs on a Mac Air M2 pinpoint how it got corrupted? Many thanks
