March 9, 20224 yr How can I re-install Nextcloud, and restore/recreate same users, and re-index all the existing files to their accounts? I think I'm on my third Nextcloud installation now. What happened this time is database corruption, I think, in oc_filecache table or something like that. I tried several things to fix it, but was spending way too much time doing that when I could just nuke it and re-install. Here's the issue: I want old users, and their files restores. Each time, when I go to re-install, I have a "you can't use that name because files exist." my two users are drew and anne. I end up making drew2, or drew2admin, or admin2, or admindrew2, etc just to get through the installation. Now I have several of these junk folders in my appdata/nextcloud/files/<user>, that are a reminder of my laziness. This screen shot is of the usershare "nextcloud" that I use for all the nextcloud user data. Edited March 9, 20224 yr by dkerlee
