Debian Unifi Controller Reset

[schavez-cvtc]

I'm trying to reset my Unifi Controller and no amount of uninstalling and reinstalling is doing it. What am I missing?

I don't need to save anything, want a fresh start.

I'm using debian.

apt-get remove --purge unifi

apt-get remove --purge mongodb

rm -rf /usr/lib/unifi

apt-get install unifi

fixed my problem, thank you.

Look for the system. Properties file var lib unifi or usr lib unifi.

Ctap lol

Find that and look for the line. Is default invert that value save and restart unifi

If you are virtualizing, create a snapshot of a clean install with unifi not configured. Then revert each time you want to reset. I find this method makes testing new updates/features easier - especially in lab environment.

If not, just run

apt-get remove --purge packagename

will remove about everything regarding the package unifi, but not the dependencies installed with it on installation.

Check that /var/lib/unifi does not have any config or data there.
