Side effect of Memories to NC search showing .com.nkming.nc_photos

Summary of the issue you are facing:

I installed the Memories and Recognize applications a few months/years ago.

When I search for files/directories using the generic file search, I get a directory containing a single token.txt file in a path beginning with .com.nkming.nc_photos.

I understand that these are metadata files from an application, but they should not appear to my users.

I want to remove these search results for my users.

There is surely a parameter in Nextcloud to ignore these files and/or change the path for Memories/Recognize to avoid this behavior.

Could you help ?
