1. (Optional): Backup the files and subdirectories of /nomad-files.
2. Delete /nomad-files.
Note:
- The default Domino program directory for Linux is /opt/hcl/domino/notes/latest/linux/.
- The default Domino program directory for Windows is C:\Program Files\HCL\Domino.
Download and extract the corresponding zip/tar file for your platform into the Domino program directory.
