Aside from my reason to do so, I wanted to purge incus and then reinstall.
So I executed:
$ sudo apt purge incus*
It starts to look like a normal package purge but then I see a lot of “read-only file system”
such as this small sample of output:
rm: cannot remove ‘/var/lib/incus/storage-pools/incus-pool/images/53abb9d01e1176d9fa55619f0b281f1dad50936b889b63d14aad1f7325626ded/rootfs/v

ar/tmp’: Read-only file system
and it ends with:
dpkg: warning: while removing incus-base, directory ‘/var/lib/incus’ not empty so not removed
I ran… the following and nothing incus* is installed
$ apt list -a incus*

even as ROOT I can’t delete /var/lib/incus?
$ sudo su
# rm -R /var/lib/incus
as it still says the directory /var/lib/incus is read-only
How do youcompletely remove incus and this storage pool so I can reinstall
and correct an error I made in the initial “incus admin init” ?
any ideas?
