Hm, --reset-database doesn’t work, on NAS. I stopped syncthing and executed

```
./sycthing --reset-database

```

and syncthing silently exited. I hoped it did its work, but evidently it didn’t. According to [Effect of parameter | -reset-database // -reset-deltas](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/effect-of-parameter-reset-database-reset-deltas/14619/9), this command should remove the folder `/var/packages/syncthing/target/var/index-v0.14.0.db/`, but it did not :-(. Can I remove the folder manually?

When I executed

```
./syncthing --reset-deltas

```

syncthing started and - according to its log - it performed what it was expected to do.
