No Amplify backend project files detected within this folder

Question

How can I solve the issue of "No Amplify backend project files detected within this folder. Either initialize a new Amplify project or pull an existing project" Am always having this issue on Windows with Amplify. I am following the TindeClone, just for me to come back to it after I took a break I got "Could not attach the backend to the project. Ensure that there are no applications locking the amplify folder and try again". These issues are frustrating me how how do I solve it and move on. Here's the screenshot

Thanks for you kind response.

Answer 1

Simple delete the amplify folder in your project run this amplify pull --appId xxxxx --envName xxxx

and when asked for Do you want changes backend select yes

This worked for me!
