BangleJS 2: Garbage in filesystem

After a work out, i wanted to download the data but found garbage in the files system. Even though other data files had correct filenames, they contained a mixture of normal data and JS code.
Filenames look like this:

2 0- 4(!"D &0!$240h.dA`
20 0!"$!2T *!$(4 ""`ah

6 files whith those cyrted file names)

Trying to download this file does not finish, and backup procedure stops at this file:
666165,66,66 1648666167,65,5

Any suggestion how to avoid this?

Unfortunately, when something like this happened to me, I found no other solution than to do a total reset of the watch

Argh, sorry. That's extremely surprising with newer firmwares.

Do you get any kind of obvious error from the backup tool if you look on the developer console? I wonder whether somehow it could be made a bit more resilient.

Otherwise, maybe connect with the Web IDE and pull out any files that contain data you want to keep, and then do an 'install default apps' on it
