I recently had my Proxmox host fail, so I re-installed and recovered all my VMs from backups.

I’m noticing that my file structure (this is on my NAS where Proxmox mounts it via SMB/CIFS) has some duplicate folders in it. The ones I highlighted are all empty. Is this normal? Can these be removed safely?

    Without knowing a little more, it’s tough to say what’s going on, but I suspect when you recreated the storage, you connected it to a slightly different place from last time. What’s the output of cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg? The dump, images, private, snippets, and template directories are auto-created when you assign those roles to a storage pool in the PVE Datacenter.

    Seeing the content of storage.cfg and maybe mount would help get this sorted, I think.
