Q&A
I have imported wrong files and cannot get rid of them:
Delete the following folders to reset cozy (this will loose all saved progress):
~/.local/share/cozy
~/.cache/cozy
I can't uninstall the Flatpak:
Try
flatpak uninstall com.github.geigi.cozy/x86_64/stable
or
flatpak uninstall --user com.github.geigi.cozy/x86_64/stable
Thanks to @Meresmata
I store my audiobooks in a location that is not accessible in the Flatpak sandbox:
You can override the flatpak settings and allow access to a path (e.g. /media) like this:
flatpak --user override --filesystem=/media com.github.geigi.cozy
