Hello Team,  
I need to reinstall AWX on the same server as the previous setup says on API:

I need to scratch the setup and reset again.

Kindly help in getting a hygienic way to do that .

Thanks in Advance.

If you’re using the basic docker install:

**-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**  **BE CAREFUL -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**  
docker rm -f (docker ps -a -q)  
docker rmi -f (docker images -a -q)  
rm -rf /tmp/pgdocker/ # change to your mounted postgres data directory if you’ve updated the config before running  
rm -rf /tmp/docker\_deploy/ # change to your docker deploy directory if you’ve updated the install config before running  
**-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**  **BE CAREFUL -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**

Please **BE CAREFUL -** this will remove your data permanently. _Make backups of the entire vm_ before you type the words "rm -rf"into your terminal.
