Encfs mount problem
After a couple of years of working perfectly I can no longer get access to my folders under Gnome Encfs Manager. After typing in my password I receive this message "The mount folder is not empty". I do not know what this means or what I should do about it. Can anyone help?
Thank you

I'd eliminate the Gnome EncFS manager (not related to cryptkeeper) first. Try mounting the EncFS folder using the terminal & encfs directly, and verify that the mountpoint folder (exaple here ~/empty-mountpoint-folder) is actually empty beforehand (your error message sounds like the mount folder has some other files/folders in it, but I'm not familiar enough with it to blindly trust it):
encfs ~/.encrypted-folder ~/empty-mountpoint-folder
Or even using the -v verbose and -f foreground option to make sure "any
warning/debug log messages will be displayed on standard error. In the default
(background) mode, all log messages are logged via syslog.":
encfs -v -f ~/.encrypted-folder ~/empty-mountpoint-folder
