Issue with stuck files in upload state resolved by deleting them via CLI in Sanity Studio 3.14.3.

Hi, a client uploaded some files for a pressroom section, but some files are stuck in upload state. i cant delete them because in “Media” they have references, when i try to access them via schema i get an “Error: undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘uploadState.file.name’)“. the weird thing is: when i download the file from the frontend it works like a charm.
anybody knows how i could access uploadState? or force delete media? appreciate
🙂

You likely will have to delete them using the CLI. What version of the Studio is this happening in?

This is happening in 3.14.3

Glad it worked! Are you using the Media plugin?

Yes i am, it seems like my client published the document before the upload finished. i had to delete only draft versions via CLI and now it works even without re-uploading.

Ah it must have gotten itself into some weird state since the upload didn’t finish. Probably something the Studio should be able to handle, though!
