this post is an earlier of [.htaccess](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/htaccess/92534) as i can’t reopen that post creating new one add this or merge this topic in that post. And Anyone found that found and what is the solution for that problem why it is deleting the file when ever ReWrite rules are implementing in that file even admin tried too. Did you find any solution for this. > [@Admin](#): > > I tried uploading that .htaccess file to one of my own accounts and it was deleted ~10 seconds after uploading it. When I uploaded segments of the files, it also deleted them. It’s really strange, and I’m unable to pinpoint exactly what triggers the removal, because it doesn’t seem to be file sizes or specific lines. ---

The `i` GET param is part of the security system and cannot be removed unless you use an external DNS provider (Like CloudFlare) > [@Why do I see ?i=1 at the end of a URL](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/why-do-i-see-i-1-at-the-end-of-a-url/49356): > > Don’t worry, this is normal! When you visit your website, you might notice ?i=1 added to the end of your URL. Here’s what’s happening and why. What is the ?i=1 suffix? The ?i=1 is a security check that protects your website from bots and malicious traffic. Our system needs to verify you’re using a real web browser before letting you access your site. Why does it appear? When you first visit your website, our security system: Sends a small test to your browser Checks if your browser can store… ---

> [@saikub](#): > > do still have any idea about this issue. Not really. The `?i=1` suffix is part of our system and cannot be disabled. If blocking this with .htaccess rules doesn’t work, you can also do it with PHP code or Javascript. And yes, this security system will generate additional redirects. You’ll be redirected once without the suffix, and redirected a second time if you setup another redirect in your code to remove it. ---

> [@saikub](#): > > ?i=1 redirections How about this? ```auto RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^([^.]*)$ /$1? [L,NE,R=301] ``` Is the .htaccess still deleted if **only** these 3 statements are present? ---
