[SOLVED] multiplayer empty mod?

[Madness]

trying to get into a friends server and there's just one empty mod keeping me from getting in. we have played together on the server before (i literally just played yesterday on the exact same server) with no issue but today there was just...one empty mod. no data. no title. nothing. google says it was a mod that was deleted but we have no idea what mod that would be considering the server owner and our 3 other friends are able to get in iv tried

closing PZ
closing steam
restarting my computer
unsubscribing from everything
manually subscribing to everything
uninstalling pz
uninstalling pz and making sure no trace of it is left on my computer
physically looking at my list of mods next to the server runners list of mods
logging into the server by connecting to someone else who is not the server running
validating files
making sure steam workshop is up to date

yet nothing worked and that darn mod is taunting me. any suggestions on what to do?

SOLVED EDIT

Thank you Beard for the help!

For those also having this issue and couldn't find the correct answer on line heres the TDLR of the below conversation

1: go to C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid
2: locate the logs.zip foldger
3: inside the zip find the latest/considering date console.txt of the issue you are having
4: find the line that has ConnectToServerState: WorkshopConfirm GetItemState()=None ID= STEAMWORKSHOPID

It means that the mod no longer exists on the workshop, the server owner has to remove it from the server.

thats the thing. we went threw ALL the mods we have on the server. and they are all in the workshop and up to date. im literally the only person of the 5 people who play on our server having this empty mod issue. and because me and the mod owner live next to eachother i even sat next to him and compared mods. i even unsubscribed from EVERYTHING and tried loading in and that empty mod stopped me. heck as a last ditch effort he even tossed his mod folder and his 108600 folder onto a thumbdrive and tried deleting mine and replacing with his. andT THAT didnt work. we are all at a loss on what to do. and also. as stated. i was able to play the day before with no issue

Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?
You can use any file-sharing website of your choice or a temporary one like filetransfer.io for example.

It specifies that the empty workshop mod has the ID 2638496761

Which is this mod:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2638496761

As you can see, it does not exist / it is hidden or removed by the creator. The server owner has to remove it from the server.

that somehow worked! thank you! all the guides online were saying that that the blank mod would be the mod that was in its place. but we couldn't for the life of us figure it out as the location of the load in page and the location on the files wasn't matching up. how did you figure out which mod it was so we can figure it out next time?

I opened up the latest console.txt log and found this line there:
LOG : General , 1719635234185> 0> ConnectToServerState: WorkshopConfirm GetItemState()=None ID=2638496761
