Nextcloud version (eg, 18.0.2): 16.0.4
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): CentOS Linux 7

I am trying to update my Nextcloud installation via the automatic updater. The updater gives an error message
Check for expected files
The following extra files have been found:
.htefxjwncnszcr.data
This file appears to be a directory, which contains the user files and data, and it is listed as the data-directory in the config.php file. I did find very similar issues in the posts, but none allowed me to solve this issue. Can I just move the directory away, run the update and move the directory back?
In the index.php-file (shown below) there is no mention of the directory.
Thanks a lot for your time!!
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): y
