Reinstallation of XAMPP always with old state of «htdocs»

Postby adi.deg » 03. August 2020 21:23

Hi.
I messed up the installation of XAMPP. I deleted the contentes of htdocs and nothing seems to work properly now. The worst part: As soon as I'm trying to reinstall XAMPP, the htdocs-file seems to be saved somewhere on the computer and appears empty again. So my question is: How can I reinstall XAMPP completely with all configurations and all folders set back to the untouched state?
What files do I need to delete after the uninstall?
Thanks for you help!

I found the solution :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25286958/how-can-i-delete-xampp-permanently-on-mac-os#:~:text=Open%20Mac%20OS%20Finder%20and,choose%20'Move%20to%20Trash'.

After deleting XAMPP, you'll have to delete the «~/.bitnami»folder from your home-folder.
Right after that, the new installation worked perfectly.
