InvalidRequest Error for Attachments in Personal Microsoft Lists
Hello Community,
I’m experiencing a persistent issue with Microsoft Lists (personal account, accessed via web on Windows 11 using Microsoft Edge).
Problem:
All attachments in my personal Lists return the following error when clicked:
{"error":{"code":"invalidRequest","message":"Invalid request"}}
- This happens for both my oldest and recently uploaded attachments.
- This does NOT happen to NEW list items as of today and onwards
- I verified that attachments were successfully uploaded at the time, but now none are accessible.
- Age of my uploads stretch from 2023 to this time
- Environment:
- Windows 11 (fully updated)
- Microsoft Edge (latest version)
- Lists accessed via web (not the app)
- Personal Microsoft account (not work/school)
- No recent migration, rename, or permissions changes.
Steps Tried:
- Renamed the list (removed special character “ø” from the name).
- Uploaded new attachments
- Checked that both my sub-items are inaccessible (attachment and personal attachment fields used separately from item to item. No double uploads)
- Checked OneDrive and Recycle Bin — no attachments visible.
- No access to “Site contents” since this is a personal account.
Questions:
- Is this a known issue with personal Lists attachments?
- Are attachments stored in a hidden folder in OneDrive/SharePoint for personal accounts? If so, what is the usual path?
- Is there any way to recover these attachments or fix the invalidRequest error?
Impact:
I used Lists to manage and store receipts, and now all attachments appear broken. This is critical for my workflow.
Any guidance or escalation would be greatly appreciated!
