Delete database file on VM

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi,
I have some weid issues with some entities not updating their status. I’ve had this in the past and solved it by removing the database file. However, now I’m running HA as a VM (virtualbox) in Linux. I don’t know where the contents of that VM is so I also can’t locate the HA folder. I can only delete the database file when HA is not running. How can I do this?

Try this:
When you start the VM, you should get a command line interface with a prompt like this: ha >.
Type this:

ha core stop
login
cd /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant
# remove the database:
rm home-assistant_v2.db
exit
ha core start

Thanks, that did it!
