Remove Old Sync Data Failed

[topdavis 3]

Any idea why I keep getting this error daily since 5/28/2021:

Remove Old Sync Data failed

Type definitions should start with a '{', expecting serialized type 'Foo`1', got string starting with:

Could be a special charecter issue: 'Foo`1'  ->  "`"

Under the server's data folder there should be a syncdata sub-folder. You could try deleting that, then restarting the server and see if that helps.

I am so sorry I forgot to respond to this sooner, but deleting and restarting fixed the problem and it has not returned since doing so.

Thanks for the feedback.
