Solved Unable to Uninstall ReleaseBell

[thetomester13]

When I try to remove an instance of the ReleaseBell app, I get the following error:

@thetomester13 Are you able to remove the directory by ssh'ing into the server?

rm -rf /home/yellowtent/appsdata/4541171f-e82c-4ee9-a3c9-313ca0d6a163/*

and then try to uninstall? Before removing, can you quickly check what is inside that directory? Is there a redis directory?

[thetomester13]

In order to get the Terminal to connect properly, I first had to 'configure' the app so it was back up and running. After that however, it said that the only directory in /home was cloudron, no mention of yellowtent at all. So I'm quite confused now...

[msbt]

@girish meant to connect to the server itself, not the app, there you should be able to see what's inside the folder

@msbt d'oh! That worked, I was able to delete the app successfully after manually (and with sudo) deleting the contents of that directory.
@girish that directory contained an empty data directory and that's it. Hope that helps debugging!
