Description

I created a backup file on an external storage, but it is no longer recognized. The memory was accidentally removed during use. Now I can't add a new location and the old one is no longer automatically detected. How do I reset app preferences? Unfortunately, my attempt to reset the app did not work.
sudo - u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ
backup:reset --uninstall
I'm asking for help.
