Can't export my previous files

Anki Desktop

I cannot export my files as a anki-file. It gives me this information:

anki.errors.TemplateError: Card template ⁨1⁩ in notetype ‘⁨Cloze-739c1⁩’ has a problem.
Expected to find ‘{{cloze:Text}}’ or similar on the front and back of the card template.

This is the crucial part:

You’ll need to fix that card template before you can export the deck. To access the template editor, click on the “Cards…” button in the note editor (Add window or Browser while the notetype Cloze-739c1 is selected) OR go to Manage Notetypes and select Cloze-739c1 there, then click on “Cards…” on the right side.

In particular, that error says you are lacking something of the form {{cloze:A Field}}, which indicates Anki it has to generate the cards for the cloze deletions found in the field A Field. Adding something like that (or changing note type to an non-cloze one) should solve your issue.
