Weewx Clean Install

[Michael McClane]

I have Belchertown skin 1.1 installed.  I got crosswise updating to 1.2  wee-extension --uninstall fails.  

I want to uninstall Weewx and perform a clean installation in Debian Buster.  I will save my weewx.conf first.  Will sudo apt-get --purge remove weewx work?  

Will uninstalling Weewx also ensure that remnants of Belchertown are deleted as well?

Thanks,

Mike

Lean toward yes, but if you want to delete it why not give it a try ?

Doubtful.  I'd expect it to remove everything that the weewx dpkg installed (only).

But in any event you know where stuff is installed to, so if you need to clean up a little afterward that's pretty easy to do.

I’ll give it a shot. 

I think that’s where I got in trouble.  I took Pat’s advise about deleted every thin in HTML_ROOT and must have been too aggressive.
