Description
I'm trying to install InfluxDB as a service using nssm.exe as follows:
1) Start command prompt as administrator and run `nssm install`
2) In Path navigate to my Windows 10 unzipped `influxd.exe` file and name the service `influxdb`
3) run `nssm start influxdb` to start it up
This works as intended when I first do it on a clean machine. I can go through the get started guide and create my username, password etc. The next time I open localhost:8086 I am asked to login with the username/password I created, which is fine.
However, now I want to 'start from fresh' and replicate the above process, incl. getting to set my new username and password. When I previously did the above steps without creating a service (but rather via manually running the influxd.exe via the command line), the config file for influxdb was created in below path: `C:\Users\` and I could delete the folder `.influxdbv2` to start over.
However, with the services approach, that folder does not seem to be added anymore - and as a result I am also not able to create a fresh start by deleting it. I guess the issue is that when installing as Administrator, the equivalent folder is stored somewhere else - but I am not sure where?
I realize I might be able to modify the username/password etc via the influxdb CLI - but I am trying to define a process that can be followed by non-technical readers, hence the CLI is not ideal.
