What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am using jottacloud and store encrypted files there. Usually media backups and system backups.
One of my files seems corrupted - The timestamp seems totally messed up (year 60425?). I do not know if it was already corrupted when I backed it up.
A hard drive died and I have to copy my files back from jottacloud using rclone.
This now fails with the following error:
parsing time "60425-05-28T05:36:09.000Z" as "2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00": cannot parse "5-05-28T05:36:09.000Z" as "-"
I managed to locate the culprit - or at least it's folder - and wanted to delete it using rclone delete, but it cannot be done.
rclone delete crypt:media/videos/movies_german/Broken_Folder

It would appear, everything fails when touching this specific file. I can, however, rename the folder, but not deleting it using rclone delete or rclone purge.
Is there a way to force delete a file using rclone or can I manage to work arround this error in any other way? Sync Copy and ls completely fail.
