Pi Zero WH Crashed Trying to Update to Core v6.1 FTL v6.2 Web interface v6.2.1 - Pi-Hole installation is missing, Update fails

It appears renaming (or removing) the /etc/.pihole directory solved the issue. After renaming it a new /etc/.pihole directory was created when running " sudo curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash" and Pi-Hole successfully re-installed.
