Description
I've been trying to run occ preview:generate-all -vvv. It gets quite a lot of the way through the folders and just errors out with the error in the title. I've checked and the folder already exists, it seems to be trying to create the folder, see's that it exists and errors out. I keep getting stuck at this point. It seems that there are a few forum posts on this, is there a fix for this now? This is 5.4.0
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with occ preview:generate-all -vvv on Nextcloud 5.4.0 and inspect the reported OCP\Files\NotPermittedException path. No source file or test is named; done means determining why an existing preview directory cannot be handled and documenting or verifying a fix for the failing folder-generation step.
