E824: Incompatible undo file when opening init.vim

Question

I get this error

E824: Incompatible undo file: /root/.cache/nvim/undo/%root%.config%nvim%init.vim Press ENTER or type command to continue

when trying to open init.vim.

When then pressing ENTER it seems to work ok.

How do I get rid of the error message?

At some point neovim changed the undo-file format. And that makes older undo files incompatible. That's exactly what you see here. — Christian Brabandt, Mar 19 at 14:04

I don't know what was the origin of the problem, but clearing the /undo folder solved the issue.
