<p>Fix in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/12351">https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/12351</a></p>
<p>You can workaround the issue by adding -oo
IGNORE_COG_LAYOUT_BREAK=YES (actually not needed for cleaning as
this doesn't break the layout, but definitely needed for adding to
a COG)<br>

<div>I am trying to clean the overviews from a GeoTIFF, but
gdaladdo does not allow me.</div>
<div>Is that an expected behaviour? Maybe I am missing more
options. (there is no opposite of "-ro")</div>
