Hello,

I have a number of errors when trying to update Scrypto. I think it’s better that I just reinstall the whole thing, how to I erase it from my system so I can begin again?

It might be as easy as simply deleting the directory where you cloned the scrypto repository.  
I’m talking about this part here:

```auto
git clone https://github.com/radixdlt/radixdlt-scrypto.git
cd radixdlt-scrypto
cargo install --path ./simulator

```

Maybe @Austin can give you more detailed information 🙂

I don’t have the environment to try out now, but simply because of how a package installer (cargo) works, you should use cargo to actually uninstall scrypto with the following command: `cargo uninstall scrypto`

I don’t think scrypto is what you install. I did run “cargo remove simulator” and then erased the radixdlt-scrypto folder. That seems to do the trick.
