      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?

        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:

          @stanwood , Thank you much!

          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.

            @cjengle Maybe something went wrong with your manipulations.
            Don't know where...
            Best thing is to reinstall UT without wipe your data.
            Then start again to remove Anbox as I described above.
