Failed to delete world error message
I apologise for being inactive but wanting to give Minecraft another shot. I tried a new installation. Even with only the Quilt API, Mod Menu, and Distant Horizons, I cannot delete any world in-game. Any suggestions or Distant Horizon options to fix this would be appreciated.

Iirc there was a bug with DH not closing the connection to the Database correctly. This leads to not being able to delete worlds.
This has already been fixed in nightly...

You aren't running that world while you are trying to delete it are you?
I beg your pardon?
I don't think that is possible.
Also could you just go delete your distanthorizons.sqlite from the world folder
/lodstore
Single Player:
- Overworld:
.minecraft/saves/WORLD_NAME/data/DistantHorizons.sqlite
- Nether: .minecraft/saves/WORLD_NAME/DIM-1/data/DistantHorizons.sqlite
- End: .minecraft/saves/WORLD_NAME/DIM1/data/DistantHorizons.sqlite
- Custom Dimensions: .minecraft/saves/WORLD_NAME/DIMENSION_FOLDER/data/DistantHorizons.sqlite
Multiplayer:
- .minecraft/Distant_Horizons_server_data/SERVER_NAME/It is lol
I don't think I was
I left the world and hit delete
The reason I was asking is because it says that the .sqlite was being used by a process so it couldn't delete
I can't delete the file
Close minecraft
I can delete the files and the world folder when I close
But I'm not sure what's causing it
Have you closed minecraft?
I did
And deleted the files
so can you delete your world?
When I'm not in
Do you want me to
Go in make a new world
Close and delete only the lods
And try to delete the world in game
yea
Alright give me a moment
Also you may want to try restarting your pc as there may be some invisible piece of software using it
alright let me reopen minecraft
I have to go sorry I will be back later
take your time ill update
okay with those files out i can delete the world in game
Okay after restarting the problem persists
So as long as you delete the distant horizons .sqlite you can delete the world
I am getting this issue as well now I just loaded up minecraft and I cannot delete my world
Might be a bug with the latest version
Yea idk why it just started though
