Removed storage-dir-verification - How to recover?

[jammerdan]

Storage-dir-verification creation happens on node setup.
I don’t know how to do it on Windows, but on Linux, if you run the initial setup command the file gets created along with all the initial config files and directory:

Recreation config file

This command will fail, if there would be a config.yaml. So, you need to rename or delete it first. This is done to protect from second (unintended) run of the setup, because it’s very important for protection. So you would need to do it only when you are sure what are you doing. This command also will create all needed/missed folders structure and storage-dir-verification file containing your NodeID in binary form. This file is used to check if the current NodeID matches the stored in file …

Just make sure that you don’t overwrite your existing node. I would suggest to create a temporary directory, copy your identity in there and run the setup command pointing all paths into this temporary location as all initial files and folders will be created.
