What is left behind after uninstalling?
Uninstalling a cfengine package does not remove any user data. Most data
including the host identity ($(sys.workdir)/ppkeys/localhost.{pub,priv}
),
state, policy, and logs remain.
To completely remove cfengine delete $(sys.workdir)
typically /var/cfengine
or C:\Program Files\Cfengine
after uninstalling the package.
Should I delete anything if I am re-installing?
You may want to wipe $(sys.statedir)
and $(sys.workdir)/outputs
for a fresh start to log data and history.
You may want to revoke trust of other hosts by deleting
$(sys.workdir)/ppkeys/*.pub
( excluding localhost.pub
).
Only delete the host identity if you want to generate a new key pair and establish a new identity for this host.
