If you want to delete your geth blockchain, there are a few things you need to do. First, you need to make sure that your geth data directory is clean. This means that there is no blockchain data or other files in it. If there are any blockchain files, you will need to delete them manually.
Next, you need to delete the geth folder. This is usually located in your home directory. Once you have deleted this folder, you will need to restart your computer.
