Never before used occ preview:cleanup but command seems to be missing completely in the list of valid commands from occ preview.
The use case is: trying to add preview images for HEIC and MOV files. While experimenting I thought it would be wise to be able to cleanup my mess and rebuild previews from scratch. Therefore I wanted to check the working of occ preview:cleanup

Summary of the issue you are facing:
[While executing occ preview:cleanup I get ’ Command “preview:cleanup” is not defined.’ as response. This is unexpected if I understand from the docs at [https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/occ_command.htm](https://Nextcloud Server Manual)l ]
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
Just run occ preview:cleanup or check valid commands with occ preview and see ’ cleanup’ is missing as valid command.
Response is:
Command "preview:cleanup" is not defined.
