Nextcloud oc_filecache growing huge : too many rows (hence backup fails with : lost connection to MySQL)

I “solved” my issue by very slowly (it took days) deleting most of these lines, from the category belonging to some “external storage” (actually /home, with a few symbolic link pointing to an external storage mounted that was counted a few hundred times…), then doing a “truncate” to empty the database table. The filecache rebuilding went well.
