Thanks for the response, I ended up just restoring the unit to factory defaults to restore the settings. I had my data backed up so it wasn't a big deal. I know deleting the files would be through SSH, and I know the commands, I just don't know where the files are located. I don't know if there is anyone on the forums that could tell me. I know you need to delete the libraries in etc, the app data in apps, but I don't know where the databases are stored. I'm going to close this thread because I think this might be a little too advanced for a forum, I would need someone familiar with the installation path of the application.

The location where the MySQL databases are stored could be e.g. /var/lib/mysql - bilaridisJul 22, 2017Aspirant
