Removing blockstack completly from system for clean install

#1

Does anyone know a good way to make sure Blockstack is completley purged from my machine so I can try again with a clean install? I’m running Ubuntu 16.04.

#2

Hmmm
Very interesting qwestion

#3
  1. remove ~/.blockstack folder
  2. remove all Docker images and containers
  3. If you want to remove the seed as well, remove the localStorage for localhost:8888 in your browser

Awesome thank you skybach

There is also a /tmp/.blockstack folder that might contain a lock file

#6

what are the commands for step 2?

#7

do you have other images and containers that do not belong to Blockstack?
If not, you can issue the following to remove all

docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
docker rmi $(docker images -aq)
