When running podman ps I get the following error:

Error: configure storage: mkdir /home/myuser/.local/share/containers/storage/overlay/l: file exists

Any idea how I can ensure this error won't happen again? I'm not sure how it happened.

I tried rebooting thinking that could fix it as well, possibly to match mismatched kernel versions, but no changes to responses.

If I try to podman start a service, the command will sometimes hang for a bit, but always ends with the same mkdir error as the podman ps error above.

    Is the path a file or something? On my system the corresponding path is a directory with a bunch of symlinks in it. The directory has user/group matching my account with permissions set to 755. (i.e. rwxr-xr-x)
