Originally created by @bryanjuho on GitHub (Mar 20, 2024).

Hi, I'm trying to clean reinstall my netbird Windows client.
I've tried deleting with the uninstaller + C:\Program Data\Netbird\config.json , but after installing again, my settings still shows values from the previous installation.

Are there registries or other locations where configurations / cache persists even after uninstall?

Thanks

@bryanjuho the solution I just came up with was to delete the peer that was connected to the original source in Netbird and then run another install/setup. It works but not great. It's obvious something is getting cached somewhere but can't quite figure out what.

I came across this same issue today and tried a few of the things listed above already.

I did manage to resolve this with the following:

  1. delete the folder in "c:\programdata\netbird"
  • After deleting this folder the netbird service will auto generate a fresh folder and config.
  1. Restart netbird Gui
  2. Connect and auth
