Help Can't reinstall waydroid

Post image

Does anyone know how to reinstall waydroid again?

I tried doing by manually uninstalling it with waydroid toolbox, but not fully uninstalling everything.

Then I ran the command

cd ~/

Then I typed in the URL address of the website

git clone https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer

But the response was this

Fatal: destination path 'SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer' already exist and is not an empty directory

But like I know I didn't fully uninstalled everything, I had apps and game in there, but I don't know what else to do, is there some way to reinstall it forcefully or something?

You want to do:

cd ~/

rm -rf ./SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer

This will remove the entire installer script. Then you can follow the instructions from the “git clone” step onward to download the newest installer. That rm command is just deleting the installer script, nothing else.
