To be sure: You made the update from Joomla! 3.10?
https://www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5833-joomla-4-0-0-beta7-and-joomla-3-10-alpha5.html

fof30 belongs to Akeeba.

Yes, I definitely did. I went from Joomla 3.9 to 3.10 Alpha 5 via the Testing Update Channel with Alpha Stability, then to Joomla 4 Beta 7 via the Custom URL Channel. I followed the instructions exactly. After I got the error I looked up file_fof30 and ascertained that it is used by Akeeba, is now deprecated but cannot be uninstalled. I am going to try again today, uninstalling Akeeba before I update to Joomla 4 to see if that removes the problem.

I am not a developer - just a user with a lot of IT experience.

Kunena Forum, JEvents - can you check if these extension are available for J4? The re-install test should give you some information.
Every test helps. so thank you for reporting.

I always check compatibility and system requirements in advance of an upgrade (it can save a lot of hassle!).

I have confirmed that JEvents, Akeeba Backup and Akeeba Admin Tools are available for J4.

Since I last checked, it seems that Kunena have downgraded their J4 compatibility to ‘experimental’ after Joomla decided to implement Bootstrap 5.

@ABSclub I have no doubt that you checked the availability of extensions, but available does not always mean "without errors". So the question is: Is it an issue for Joomla or for a extension?
