Hi @adwulfran

Seems like something went wrong somewhere - Im moving this from Lotus issues to Discussions for help and troubleshooting. Since this clearly a user error and not a lotus issue.

If its running in the background you might have started lotus as a service, then the cmd is:
systemctl stop lotus-daemon

Regular stop:
lotus daemon stop
lotus-miner stop

How to fully uninstall it ?

• Quick google search and you will find a way to fully remove it.

sudo apt-get remove application
sudo apt-get remove application*

sudo apt-get remove --purge application
sudo apt-get remove --purge application*

sudo apt-get purge application
sudo apt-get purge application*

I agree with @Reiers here. How are things looking on your end? Did you get lotus removed successfully?

@SgtCoin
Yes I removed it successfully, thanks @Reiers.
I had gigabytes of storage in /snap due to lotus that was harder to remove.
