I have created local repository, but repodata directory was deleted from the repository folder, because of that when ever i issue the command yum list, it is searching for the file repomd.xml (Which was deleted)

I am trying to recreate the repository by issuing the command craterepo /dumps
ERROR:Old data directory exists, please remove: .olddata

while doing this error is coming and repodata directory is being created with no contents available in that.

I want to know, how can i remove the rpms from metadata and recreate the things.

just want to recreate the repostory.

help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Remove hidden file.olddata from dumps folder after that issue 'createrepo' command

Thanks alot. it is working.
I thought old data means already created data, but not expected this. thanks very much
