Cant remove Backup settings from Google Drive

[daniel.schneider-3801Participant]

Hey,
I just restored my site from a backup 3 Days ago completely with Plugins, DB, etc.
Afterwards i found 74 Backups in my backup list. Confused aas i was
i just rescaned the remote storage which happen to be a google drive.
i did not read the “Warning: This will show all backups not just the Backups from this site”
ok, thats my Problem. Still all 74 Backups ( from other sites were shown)

So i bought the Premium License to be able to change the Folders in my GDrive, hoping with an empty folder / a folder for just each site will solve the Problem.
It did not.

In fact, i dont get the List of over 70 Backups not to be droped.
I deleted the Google Settings, disabled a remote storige at all but still find all the Backups stored in my Google Drive.
I even deleted the original “Updraft” Folder from my Google Drive but i still find 74 Backups (which i moved to complete new Folders)…

I would assume by using diffrent folders

I just even wiped my Settings Data within Updraft and changed the Google Account used for Backups…
with the result Updraft is using the New one for new Backups, but somehow is still connected to the old one, showing the Backups and deleting them if i wish to.
So somehow the Credentials are still used after deleting the Connection, Whiping the Data and Deactivating and deinstalling the Plugin.

As well as reading the whole Google Drive, not only the Folder used in Settings…

Hi,

Are you using the same Google Drive account?
Once you press the rescan remote storage link, you will be able to see all backups from all sites in all folders. Unfortunately there is no way to “unsee” these backups.
The only thing you can try is removing the scope to for UpdraftPlus to have read only access
The plugin requests the following scopes, as described by Google’s documentation: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v2/about-auth

drive.file – “Per-file access to files created or opened by the app.”

drive.readonly – “Allows read-only access to file metadata and file content.”

If you download the UpdraftPlus plugins and go into methods >> googledrive.php and goto line 429, you should be able to see that the drive-wide access (not full access – nothing can be edited, over-written or deleted) for the feature to re-scan storage for backups uploaded by other installs can be removed “if you are happy to lose that capability, you can use the filter below to remove the drive.readonly scope.”
