Being new to Ubuntu/Linux I've tried to quickly setup the newly installed weechat using this proposed configuration. Now, since it is hard to learn to use it, respectively get easy help AND weechat doesn't connect anymore, I want to totally reset everything.

I tried to un-/reinstall, but it keeps all settings. Also couldn't find any clue on-line.

  • Where did you save the file described in the tutorial? Have you tried deleting said file? – earthmeLon Sep 08 '15 at 21:15
  • Didn't make anything elese then copy paste the whole text (know it was naive) to the command line of weechat. Got a request it if I really want to paste them - over. However I've done (at least tried) some settings from this introduction before. I really want to wipe out everything. Is this possible? Thank you :) – alex Sep 08 '15 at 21:32

    Run this command, and it will find any weechat directories in your user's home directory: find /home/$USER -name '*weechat*' -type d. In theory, removing the paths it states (which are folders) will remove the weechat configuration settings. – Thomas Ward Sep 08 '15 at 21:39
  • @ThomasW. Thank you! The command didn't work (I've put instead of $USER my user). However, I deleted the .weechat directory inside the /home directory. And it worked: after restarting it seems to be like new again :) – alex Sep 08 '15 at 21:49
  • @alex Glad to hear it! i've added that as an answer so you can accept it as an answer. – Thomas Ward Sep 08 '15 at 21:55

You'll need to delete the weechat directories in your Home directory.

There may be a .weechat directory in your home directory. If not, feel free to search for it with the command find ~ -name '*weechat'* -type d and delete any directories it returns.
