amplify add storage: folder and files not created

** Which Category is your question related to? ** amplify add storage

** Provide additional details e.g. code snippets ** While attempting to add Storage and then doing amplify push - it failed and performed a rollback. I fixed a few a things, and went to try again - and the following happens:

from the CLI

$ amplify add storage
? Please select from one of the below mentioned services Content (Images, audio, video, etc.)
Amazon S3 storage was already added to your project.
$ amplify push

Current Environment: master

| Category | Resource name   | Operation | Provider plugin   |
| -------- | --------------- | --------- | ----------------- |
| Storage  | rocketandart    | Create    | awscloudformation |
| Api      | r0ck3t          | Update    | awscloudformation |
| Auth     | cognito130c7752 | No Change | awscloudformation |

? Are you sure you want to continue? Yes

ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/Users/filtenborg/tjalfe/r0k3t/amplify/backend/storage/rocketandart'

I haven’t touched any files in /amplify/backend/ folders

How do i proceed from here?

• Should i manually remove the relation somewhere?
• Should i manually add it to '/amplify/backend/storage/rocketandart/ ?
• Can i remove storage and then add it again?

Im not sure how to go about this.

Thanks in advance Filtenborg

Please follow these steps to restore your local amplify directory

1. Very important, backup your entire project, so if things don’t go as planned, you can store and try again.
2. update your cli to the latest version. npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli@latest
3. In the backend folder and the #current-cloud-backend folder, remove this subfolder if it exists: /Users/filtenborg/tjalfe/r0k3t/amplify/backend/storage/
4. In the backend folder and the #current-cloud-backend folder, update the amplify-meta.json file by removing the entire ‘storage’ property if it exists.
5. In the backend folder and the #current-cloud-backend folder, update the backend-config.json file by removing the entire ‘storage’ property if it exists.

After the above steps.

1. run amplify -v and tell us what your cli version is.
2. add the storage using the normal workflow and then push.
