### Bug description

After adding `.venv` to the global ignore list i got an `The Server responded with an error while reading Folder xyz` Error on almost all Folder synchronizations.

Than i removed `.venv` from the list an the error is still there.

I am using the latest Debian build since a few years on multiple devices an never used this feature, now two devices are nearly unable to sync (i have done this one two machines).

The problem is that i sync about 2TB over a rather slow Internet connection so in can't play around or re sync everything.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Add `.venv` to ignore list
2. change a file
3. wait for sync

### Expected behavior

syncing the file like usual.
