Description

I tried removing the App as per https://github.com/nextcloud/backup/issues/309 but the command seems to run forever and does nothing (it does not remove the files or directories)

I left it like that overnight, but nothing happened. Are there any logs I can take a look at or an alternative method to wipe off the files and leftovers completely?
