How To Reset After Unclean Shutdown? Addr in use; no instance of nodeos running

Question

Here's how I'm running nodeos:

nodeos -e -p eosio --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin

I already tried deleting the "data" folder in .local/share/eosio/nodeos/

and tried running it again. It says that the addr is already in use:

995027ms thread-0   http_plugin.cpp:338           plugin_startup       ] http service failed to start: Address already in use

995030ms thread-0   main.cpp:133                  main                 ] Address already in use

But there's no nodeos process running. In fact, I'm on an AWS and ps -a says there's only one process running. So it's gotta be something to do with the data files / config files.

Any ideas on how to complete a full reset of the blockchain?

Answer 1

I ran command ps -ax which showed a nodeos process running.

I then run pkill nodeos and then deleted .local/shared/eosio/nodeos/data/blocks and .local/shared/eosio/nodeos/data/state

Which fixed my problem. it.
