Vaultwarden Build Version

v1.35.4

Deployment method

Custom deployment method

When I delete a folder in my vault, the server becomes kind of unresponsive for several minutes. Vault operations are no longer possible but the admin interface works as usual.

This happens every time when a user deletes a folder.

Reverse Proxy

Host/Server Operating System

Linux

Operating System Version

Debian 13.4, Docker version 29.3.0 build 5927d80

Clients

Web Vault, Browser Extension, Desktop, Android

Client Version

Bitwarden Android 2026.2.1, Bitwarden Firefox Addon 2026.1.1 and Bitwarden Desktop 2025.10.0

Steps To Reproduce

Go to "Change folder"
Click on "Delete"
Folder will be deleted, including success message
You cannot delete another folder
Server is now unresponsive for minutes

Expected Result

Deletion of a folder is no problem for vaultwarden

Actual Result

Deletion of a folder makes the server unresponsive
