I am trying to completely reset Joplin.

- I've turned off sync
- I've tried to Re-upload data to sync target
- I've tried to Delete local data and re-download from sync target
I only have 1 note called testing
I keep getting a sync error. I just want to completely start over. For some reason it seems to try to sync files after I've tried to delete everything.

@JoplinMe2 welcome to the forum.
If you wish to remove **ALL** your local data and reset Joplin as if it was just installed for the first time, delete / move / rename the folder **~/.config/joplin-desktop**
