What is the problem you are having with rclone?
FYI - bug report for something I found in rclone which hopefully is an easy fix for someone who works with the source
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.69.0
- os/version: ubuntu 24.04 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.8.0-52-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.23.4
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Self Hosted Minio
Bucket is has versions enabled.
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone purge minio-dellxps:temp
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
