<![CDATA[Reset Anbox?]]>Is there a quick way to reset Anbox after messing with it?

I installed an unsuccessful google play services and app combo, and wanted to try again. I know how to uninstall a given package, but I couldn't isolate the the play services package/packages.

I attempted deleting the anbox-data directory so I could re-run "anbox-tooll install". I didn't have the appropriate permissions even with sudo. I started fishing around online for a quick method, seeing as how these are isolated in containers.

Looks like I should have been looking into Waydroid this whole time instead? as that's the more preferred app?

Don't know where...
Best thing is to reinstall UT without wipe your data.
Then start again to remove Anbox as I described above.

I did attempt the first half:

sudo rm -rf ~/anbox-data

without success. Right now I have it in a functional precarious state after various adb resets and anbox-tool installs. So I'll leave it for now. But if I try again, I'll take a look at the local folder there.

  1. From Android settings remove all your apps

  2. In terminal:

anbox-tool disable
sudo rm -rf ~/anbox-data/ ~/.local/share/applications/anbox/
  1. There are desktop files named anbox* at ~/.local/share/applications which you can delete the apps on the drawer

Anbox is no more maintained. You can take a look at this post and install WayDroid if your device is ready for:
