How to fix Yandex.Disk? Error: directory path is being used by another

Question

linux

Every time the OS boots (Ubuntu 14.04) the daemon starts, sometimes it fails. Outputs to the terminal: Error: directory path is being used by another user: /home/rokker/yadisk
The user is alone.

Answer 1

The solution is simple: remove the hidden .sync folder from the /home/rokker/yadisk folder and restart the daemon. Command in the console:
rm -R /home/rokker/yadisk/.sync
yandex-disk stop
yandex-disk start
It's amazing that Google finds the only mention of this error only in this post and not a single solution.

Answer 2

You can try to see the processes that use your folder. In the console type
su ps axu | grep /home/rokker/yadisk

Answer 3

I also had a similar problem. After re-generating the token, the problem disappeared:
yandex-disk token -p PASSWORD --dir DIRECTORY USER
yandex-disk --dir DIRECTORY start
