If you haven’t deposited any funds yet into Bisq, you can simply delete the data directory. Data directory is at the location specified above.

Homard, I finally found the directory location you referenced, took me a minute.

However, there is no BISQ under Application Support, I’ve downloaded the dmg file and installed, moving the launch Icon into my application folder.

I can’t find the log file, not sure how to proceed.

I’ll try getting on github. Thx.

It is possible that Bisq crashes before it even creates the data directory, althought that is very rare.

Not sure where Bisq is installed on Mac, but on linux it is at **/opt/Bisq/Bisq**. If you find it, you can run it from the command line and look for the output for some warnings/errors.

So I found the terminal connection in the Bisq sub directory, but when I run the script this is what I get back.

I have no idea.

Best to create an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues).
