I recently tried to upgrade the Windows Bisq app for the 1st time in perhaps 6 months. I got the message to upgrade from a Tor v2 address to V3. I watched the video and read the article on doing this and after backing up, removed the hiddenservices\_backup folder and re-started Bisq. Unfortunately it defaulted to my old V2 address. I notice there is also a tor folder and a sub-folder in it called hiddenservices. Do I need to delete this as well? I have funds in my account so I’d prefer not to start from scratch with a new account if possible. Thanks for any assistance.

The article to follow to this extent is [Changing your onion address - Bisq Wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Changing_your_onion_address)  
You deleted the backup folder which won’t alter your onion address, while to change that you would need to close bisq, delete the `hiddenservice` folder, then restart bisq.  
Or better yet, follow the given link 🙂
