Home assistant backup folder repeat itself taking up a lot of space

Installation Home Assistant OS

I had this same issue with the the repeating of

  • addons
  • backup
  • config
  • share
  • ssl

This all started when I moved from Synology HA native to HassIO VM image. I simply created an OLD dir in each directory and moved the symbolic link into the newly created OLD dir and rebooted. Seeing how this works.

I also had this issue with the config folder (i think i after migration from hassio package on Docker to synology VM) I am no expert at all, so forgive me if i am saying that doesn’t make sense. (or has been said already) But maybe these simple steps can help someone with the same issue:

  • open The Web UI of the ‘Terminal & SSH’ add-on-
  • navigate to folder by typing ‘cd config’
  • then type ‘unlink config’

Done :slight_smile:

it seemed solved after navigating to the folder in

Hallelujah, thanks that helped for me as well. I also went from docker to virtual machine on synology!
