I am about to do same scenario.
in this instance is it a delete everything except data and config, upload then trigger process like going from OC 8.x series to 9.x?

In simple terms: YES.

Note that you still canā€™t skip releases so you have to be on 8.2 for an upgrade to work!

We want to fix that in the future.

ok I am on OC 9.0.1 right now and just wanted to check.
should I first go to OC 9.0.2 then run nextcloud upgrade?
thanks

Also ownCube started to offer Nextcloud today. I have made a screenshot of the mail I just got 16 minutes ago:

NC migration from OC 8.2.3 went nicely:
/bin/mv testcloud testcloud.8.2.3
wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-9.0.50.tar.bz2 && tar xjf nextcloud-9.0.50.tar.bz2
/bin/mv nextcloud testcloud && chown -R apache:apache testcloud
/bin/cp -a testcloud8.2.3/config/config.php testcloud/config/config.php
cd testcloud && sudo -u apache ./occ upgrade && sudo -u apache ./occ files::scan --all
Watch :soccer:
enjoy NC 9.x
