How can I delete OpenELEC from my appdata folder?

[kristisdad]

I been trying & trying to delete OpenELEC, which now I've totally destroyed, from my appdata file but it keeps telling me I need permission.  Been trying through Win10.  I finally changed the name of the file but still want to delete it.  How do I go about it?  As always, any help appreciated ~ Dave

Do you have a keyboard and monitor attached, or can you telnet to your server?

Yes, I can do either.  Just don't know any commands

In VM Manager, did it not give you the option to "Remove VM + Disks"?

 

 

If not, and As long as you are sure this is what you want to do...

 

I like using Midnight Commander.

 

SSH into unraid (or from console) and at prompt type:  mc

 

and hit ENETR

 

This will open Midnight Commander.

 

On the left side, navigate to the location of your appdata share (my VMs are at /mnt/user/VMs).  Right-click on the openelec folder in question and it will change yellow.  Then click on Delete at the bottom.  You will probably get a few warnings...just tell it to delete All.

I was hoping that was an option.  The only option was to delete the VM, disks were not included, so I just went to my appdata folder and started deleting and that why I'm in this situation now.  Is midnight commander included in this or do I have to download it from someplace? ~ Dave (I'm at work now, so I'll try this evening and see how it goes...

mc is included with unraid.
