In most cases, you can delete the chain directly from that node's Dashboard:
In some cases, you may need to clear the chain data manually. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Identify the NodeID you would to edit (for this example: FUSE-0000)
2. Shut down NP
3. Delete the node's chain data folder in ~/.node-pilot/chains/<nodeID>
Via command line (Example for FUSE-000):
For nodes that were given custom Chain Directories, apply this step to the custom directory instead of the default directory.
4. Start NP
