Error - Existing Local Data

New to Local, so im very lacking in diagnosing the issue

Created a site, and got a fair way into it, and suddenly got a 502 bad gateway error, checked a few others that i set up and i could login to them with out issues

Canned the site and decided to create a new one, and now its saying i cant create it with the correct name as there is existing local data, it will let me create a new site using a different name, is there anywhere to go to totally remove all files from the original install.


What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

If you look at one of your sites @Dunjoko under the title you should see a Site Folder button. Click that and it will take you to the area where all of your Local site files are stored. You might have to back up to the parent directory, but you can check there and see if anything is still lingering.

You’ll also want to make sure Local has permission to update the hosts file, and allow any prompts.
