How to clean install XBMC? - DanFerret - 2011-11-17

Hi guys,

Been playing around with various skins and add ons lately and been having a few problems and basically I want to start fresh.

Is there an easy way to uninstall XBMC and delete all its files and then reinstall?

I tried uninstalling via NitoTV and then installing the latest nightly build via SSH but all my settings and skins where kept.

Some Googling told me I could do a restore of the Apple TV but this will update my iOS and remove my jailbreak and while there isnt an untethered jailbreak I dont want to risk it.

Any ideas? Is is just as simple as deleting files via ssh?

Edit - just found this in a thread for iPad:

rm /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/xbmc.log
rm -rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC

Will give that a go.
