SOLVED How to get completely rid of old Jails

[Elo]

Hi
During installation of 11.3 - RC1 my Jails disappear. Since I just also changed the mother board I would like to take the opportunity to make a complete fresh re-install of all my Jails. Before I do this I would like to remove all the old jails data , configs , SW etc completely.

How do I do this since the jails are no longer accessible through the GUI or through SSH?
Can I just delete the entire IOCAGE directory?

Not the directory (as that will say it is busy), but the dataset the jails live on. You'll want to copy any configs or data that you care about off of the dataset first.

Thanks so I have a dedicated Pool for Jails OB-NAS-JAILS

In that there is iocage -> jails -> Nextcloud for example.. You mean I should delete data-sets like DNS, MediaDL,OpenVPN .....Nextcloud then ?

If you want to go fresh and the only thing installed on ob-nas-jails is jails, you could delete that dataset entirely. Or, you could be more cautious and just delete the jails dataset (or more cautious still and just some of the datasets below it such as mediadl, openvpn, etc.).
