I am using [Object Storage for Uploads (S3 & Clones)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-object-storage-for-uploads-s3-clones/148916) and it used to be that I deleted the assets folder and run rebuild uploaded only the latest, current files again. But as you write you can rename the assets folder and run a rebuild to check everything works fine. After it creates and upload the new files you can delete the old assets folder.
