Plasma vault: "The mount point directory is not empty, refusing to open the vault"

Hi there,
I have a vault full of my most important documents. Seemingly since updating to plasma6 when I try to open it from the systray icon it pauses and then gives the error “Failed to open: The mount point directory is not empty, refusing to open the vault”

I’m using:
Operating System: KDE neon 6.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
Kernel Version: 6.5.0-27-generic (64-bit)
Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM

I’ve tried a few fixes I saw online, but none seem to work. This includes moving ~.local/share/cryfs/ and any hidden .Directory files (there weren’t any).

I’ve looked over the following bug reports. It won’t let me post links, so just replace MONKEY with . for all below):

According to DMESG, there does seem to be some kind of crash and out-of-memory issue:

On a side note: What happened to these forums? Not only do they look different to how they used to, but I don’t see my old content or user here? Was everything wiped at some stage?

Is the mount directory empty?

Sorry if this sounds obvious, as you might have checked already.

I am asking it explicitly, as it wasn’t obvious from your description if you checked for this.

I have a python project inside a vault, and often I close the mount before closing PyCharm (the IDE I use for Python projects).

PyCharm will then write a hidden directory on shutdown with its configuration, and I ended up having the same error message.

This was very tricky at first, as this configuration directory is hidden, so it wasn’t obvious at first glance and the mount directory seemed empty.

Note that each vault is configured with 2 directories, one to hold the encrypted data, and one to serve as the mount point.

The second one needs to be truly empty before mounting it.

cd into the directory, and run ls -la. This will list all hidden files, if any.

Or navigate to the directory within Dolphin and choose View > Show Hidden Files (or it CTRL+H) to show the hidden files.

If there are any hidden files, double-check if you need them before deleting/moving.
