Describe the bug

1. Neo-Backup backup /Dir installed to /emulated/0/Neo-BU-Sync
2. Neo-Backup encryption toggled On w/ applied Password
3. Neo-Backup backup procedure failed to complete full backup.
4. Neo-Backup proceeds to create new backup in same /Dir without removing previous backup files.
5. After repeated attempts to create a working backup /Dir, the Neo-Backup /Dir has 15GB of failed backup .properties and .enc files.
6. Neo-Backup deletes .apk files only
7. Neo-Backup will not delete files /Dir through the "Delete Backup" option under the "Tools" tab.
8. Neo-Backup /Dir will not delete off of the device through manual deletion in file mananger, /Delete Failed (Tried in X-plore and MiXplorer).
9. Uninstalled Neo-Backup but backup /Dir still will not delete.
10. Re-installed Neo-Backup, repeated all delete backup methods but backup /Dir and files will not delete.
11. Tried to access Neo-Terminal through Settings>Tools>Terminal, Neo-Backup crashes w/ failed to respond. (Still Unsure of How to Delete Backup /Dir w/ Confusion on a RW Filesystem)

Expected Behavior

1. Neo-Backup Settings>Tools>Delete Backup to delete all backup files
2. Neo-Backup Settings>Tools>Terminal to open/send terminal commands w/o error or crash

(Note: I have run into multiple strange errors with this build. Such as, no version of Lsposed will work going back through at least 2 years of versions. Every install of Lsposed crashes unresponsive. I am still undecided if this is a Neo-Backup bug/error or a Device Build bug/error, but I'm reporting anyway)

try to delete the files/folder under /data/media/0 instead of /storage/emulated/0, or use Recovery if you have twrp. Mount issues and permission mismatches can cause this.
