I use n8n With Workers in Railway. My volume in Postgres was abnormally high so I deleted old execution data and logs to clear up space (I did upgrade to Pro and increase my volume, but it is still way too high at 7GB for only 4 simple active workflows running).
The space was not cleared up after deleting the excess data (using dbGate) so I ran a VACUUM command. That didn't reduce the volume noticeably, so I ran VACUUM FULL per guidance online. I redeployed Postgres, but now I cannot deploy n8n Primary as it keeps crashing. The Deploy Logs show
"There was an error initializing DB
could not open file "base/xxxxx/xxxxxx": No such file or directory
Last session crashed"
Please can you help me fix this? I tried following all instructions online to fix the abnormal Volume but now I am completely stuck and don't know how to recover whatever VACUUM FULL deleted but was actually needed.
Thank you so much for your help

Railway team -- please could you fix this on your end? I think it requires your help on the back-end
