Hi,
i changed the data directory from the default path on the sd-card “/var/www/nextcloud/data” to a USB drive.
i used the function in the NCP Setup.
Every thing looks fine, but the original folder on the sd-card still exists und it takes a lot of space.

Can I just delete it?
How to delete it?

Best to make sure first, run ncp-report to get and verify system config and logs.

You can remove any folder from the command line using

sudo rm -rf /path/to/folder

Please note this can not be undone, once executed, there is no way to get the folder and its content back.
