Error 'Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node''

Help

Regarding version ^13 structure (app/)

Ive “/” and “/blog”'s route loading different layouts. Both of them are marked with “use client” by using useState/Effect.

At the “/blog” route, we have some links that redirects back for “/” or other routes, like “/contact”. None of these links are working, according the following callback from react

NotFoundError: Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node.

It’s hard a little bit to figure out once the line (or origin) is not specified by debugger.
Let me know if I missing on information

Any ideas on how to resolve or at least trace the origin of this issue?

Hi, @ivanzanoth-gmailcom!

Thanks for sharing! I believe that the error “Failed to execute ‘removeChild’ on ‘Node’” typically indicates a mismatch between the actual DOM and React’s expectations.

What you could try to do is:

  1. Remove unnecessary “use client” directives
  2. Check for direct DOM manipulation
  3. Verify route and layout structure
  4. Ensure correct usage of next/link
  5. Debug with console logs
  6. Check for version conflicts

It would also help if you could share a minimal reproducible example with us to dig deeper! :smile:
