Disabling versioning app does not delete files_versions directory

Hello,

I decided to disable the versioning app after using it for a few months but unfortunately the files_versions directory in my users directories on the files system does not automatically get removed.

What is the procedure here? Should I manually remove this directory and its contents for every users? or is there an occ command for that?

Regards,
J.

The documentation helps here:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/9/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html#versions-label

(it possibly keeps an empty files_versions-folder for each user you’ll probably have to delete)

Thanks that worked for me. I quickly re-enabled the versioning app to get the “versions:cleanup” occ command available again, ran it and disabled the app.
