## Troubleshooting
As Jan is development mode, you might get stuck on a broken build.
To reset your installation:
1. Delete Jan from your `/Applications` folder
1. Delete Application data:
```sh
# Newer versions
rm -rf /Users/$(whoami)/Library/Application\ Support/jan
# Versions 0.2.0 and older
rm -rf /Users/$(whoami)/Library/Application\ Support/jan-electron
```
1. Clear Application cache:
```sh
rm -rf /Users/$(whoami)/Library/Caches/jan*
```
1. Use the following commands to remove any dangling backend processes:
```sh
ps aux | grep nitro
```
Look for processes like "nitro" and "nitro_arm_64," and kill them one by one with:
```sh
kill -9 <PID>
```
