[BUG] after deinstalling, dashboard still loads (after errors)

[fwolfst]

Current Behavior:

(Solution in comment, its a documentation issue).

Installed neovim and doom-nvim (on MacOS), then removed the .config/nvim folder completely.

Now, wenn I start nvim I will see this error messages, after which I am thrown into the dashboard. How can I fully deinstall the stuff?

Expected Behavior:

I expect a blank neovim experience after removing everything in .config/nvim .

Anything else:

:(

nvim -u NONE works

Solution: removing .local/share/nvim and .cache/nvim helped.
This should be mentioned in the documentation, thus leaving ticket open.
