Does uninstalling an app really remove previous backups?
-
Because all these backups used to have 76 apps in until I uninstalled a load of apps to save space.
I'm guessing not, given what it says here:
In which case I think perhaps there is a bug in the backup listing
-
Cloudron will not purge the backup data form the storage on uninstall, this is partly to allow to recover in case the uninstall was accidental. The backup listings as such will assume the uninstall was intentional (as is mostly the case) and thus will not include those uninstalled apps in the backup meta data anymore for the whole Cloudron backups.

Good to know.

This doesn't make any sense to me. The number of apps listed in the old backups should not change as those backups have not changed and do include the backups of the uninstalled apps.

@nebulon said "anymore", meaning, after the installation the backup listing will not include that app.
The app will be listed in the previous backups when it was part of it. Is this not the case? Otherwise, this sounds like a bug.

Correct. All but the most recent backup listed in the screenshot above had ~76 apps in them, and presumably still do, but the listing now shows them as having less.

@jdaviescoates Good catch! This is a UI bug that it doesn't show deleted apps. The backups are there but the UI is unable to find an app to create a link to and decides to remove it entirely. Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/49941a34b935c28570514c59598bbf58b93d41a1 . With this, clicking on deleted app will just put you in the eventlog (hopefully that gives some information what that app was).
