Here you can’t reinstall it beacause the folder /home/yunohost.app/nextcloud/data is still here

2025-02-23 11:20:13,113: DEBUG - Login is invalid because files already exist for this user

Have you keep a backup of the previous nextcloud ?? Is better restore a backup.

Or if no backups, you can rename the folder with the data, install a new fresh nextcloud and try move files of the users folders, but like this only files will be saved…

All commands are connected on ssh and with root user
Once connected to a shell to get root shell

sudo -i

Then these steps

• Rename the data folder

mv /home/yunohost.app/nextcloud/data  data-BKP

• Install nextcloud

yunohost app install nextcloud

• Give correct permissions on the backup folder

chown -R nextcloud: data-BKP

• Copy files for user from backup to new folder data => user => files

cp -a data-BKP/user/files/. /home/yunohost.app/nextcloud/data/user/files/

• Rescan the folder needed for the database

yunohost app shell nextcloud
php occ files:scan user
