ExternalIndex corrupted (wrong path)

Hi,

Our ExternalIndex is not working anymore and i get all sorts of errors in the log.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Windows\TEMP\ExamineIndexes\db54d6a2928214e00581c19fa50a0ed6\ExternalIndex\_65.si'.
File name: 'C:\Windows\TEMP\ExamineIndexes\db54d6a2928214e00581c19fa50a0ed6\ExternalIndex\_65.si'

There is no folder under ExamineIndexes named “db54…”.

I have the following subfolders:

\InternalIndex
\MembersIndex
\UmbracoFormsRecordsIndex

If i go to the the ExternalIndex backend management it states:

Could not find file 'C:\Windows\TEMP\ExamineIndexes\db54d6a2928214e00581c19fa50a0ed6\ExternalIndex\_65.si'. It may not be possible to rebuild the index. Please try deleting the entire ExternalIndex folder and then attempt to rebuild it again

But i can’t delete the requested folder as it does not exist!

We’re running Umbraco 13.1.0.
