I would like to do a complete uninstall of appwrite including project data, databases etc. to have a fresh start in my prototype environment.

I am aware of https://appwrite.io/docs/self-hosting#uninstall but is there any other data on my filesystem/machine i need to remove manually ?

TL;DR
To do a complete uninstall of Appwrite and start fresh, you just need to use the `-v` flag with the docker command to wipe the volumes. This will remove all project data, databases, and other containers associated with Appwrite. You can refer to the documentation provided by Appwrite for more details on the uninstallation process.

You might want to purge local appwrite and its other containers from docker.

nope, that's all you need to do. Appwrite uses docker which stores data in volumes. the -v flag wipes the volumes
