Description
I'm attempting to access my private folders after rekeying with a paper key, and it just hangs. Does deleted kbfs data remain in the leveldb indefinitely? Because I attempted to upload a full 4GB of data at one point, then gave up when it turned out I couldn't access the resulting data from anything.
