Duplicate Files – uploads/generateblocks/

    Hi,

    There are two pairs of duplicate Filea in uploads/generateblocks/

    style-9-[PCNAME].css 2/10/2025
    style-9.css 27/10/2025

    style-global-[PCNAME].css 2/10/2025
    style-global.css 27/10/2025

    I assume somthing went wrong on the 2/10/2025 and WordPress/GenerateBlocs took a backup of the files and created two new ones. I’m confident that the files dated 27/10/2025 are the current files being used. I am just checking that it is safe to delete the two files dated 2/10/2025.

    I would appreciate your confirmation that it is safe to delete these two files.

    Thanks
    Graham

    Hi Graham,

    can you go to generateblocks > settings, click the regenerate CSS button, and see if the duplicated CSS file got removed.

    Let me know 🙂

    Hi Ying,

    Thanks for your responce.

    I regenerated both GeneratePress (Customiser > General), and the GenerateBlocks CSS files immediatly before posting the support request. I also made a temporary change to a global style to see which file it showed up in… which is why I am confident the newer files are current.

    If you are not sure about the delete, don’t go to too much trouble to find an answer, I’ll back everything up before I delete the older files and see if affects anything. I just thought you might have come across this before which would save me a manual backup process.

    Regards
    Graham

    I haven’t seen the issue before, so I’m not sure.

    Can you let me know how it goes? Thanks!

    Hi Ying,

    I’ve deleted the duplicate files after taking a full backup of the site… Everything is working okay, no detrimantal effects that I can find.
