Can't reply to a thread, "The submitted message is too long to be processed"

I can't reply to this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-animal-crossing-new-horizons-custom-music.562660/, I uploaded a file that was too big and got that error but after deleting it I'm still getting the same error and can't get rid of it

Have you tried clearing your web browser's cache(/history) and tried again?

Have you tried reloading the page?
Maybe try cutting the text, deleting the draft and pasting it back.

How exactly do I do that for just this website? Should I just log out and log in again?

Tried reloading page, deleting and reinserting, pressing the delete draft button and opening the full screen editor

Nevermind, seems like it fixed itself after 10 minutes

I see the problem solved itself, but I'll answer this for future reference.
Assuming you're using Chrome (could be similar for other browsers, but idk):

1. Click the padlock icon at the left end of the URL bar
2. Click 'Cookies'
3. Select 'gbatemp.net' if it isn't already selected
4. Click 'Remove'
5. If the page doesn't reload automatically, do it yourself.

Nope I use an outdated icecat but yeah I guess I'll just try removing all gbatemp cookies if this ever happens again

For future reference, CTRL+F5 does a cache refresh, and applies to most browsers (Icecat included, since it's just Firefox but slightly different)

This is quite odd to be running into this like for no reason at all.

I myself haven't uploaded any files so I never ran into this.
Perhaps the browser needs to do an automatic cache refresh if a file was seemingly uploaded but cancelled later?
