Full backup failed- missing file

Configuration
1

I can’t do a full backup, the error in the log says:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/data/media/frigate/clips/family_room-1687872721.036881-3eh3w2-clean.png'
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/supervisor/supervisor/backups/manager.py", line 210, in _do_backup
    await backup.store_folders(folder_list)
  File "/usr/src/supervisor/supervisor/backups/backup.py", line 462, in store_folders
    raise BackupError(
supervisor.exceptions.BackupError: Can't backup folder media: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/data/media/frigate/clips/family_room-1687872721.036881-3eh3w2-clean.png'

I can do a partial backup of everything except the media folder. Can I safely delete the contents of /data/media/frigate/*?

Here is a summary of my current situation.
I am moving my Home Assistant installation (HAOS) to a new host. The plan includes performing a restore on the new host, which is why I need a full backup.
Apparently while chasing another issue (30GB in the media folder) I corrupted the Frigate database by deleting some files manually. (I didn’t know not to do that).

So, If I can’t simply delete the frigate media folders- why not delete the Frigate add-on, delete the Frigate media files, then move Home Assistant to the new host and reinstall Frigate?

Thoughts?

frigate db will not be corrupted by deleting files, it will simply try to play them and when they don’t play remove it from the db.

So, it’s safe to simply delete all of the files in /data/media/frigate/* ?

Still, why is backup looking for specific files? I would expect that backup is just making a tar file of everything.

If you don’t mind losing the data.
