Description

Got seemingly invalid client config by these steps:

  • Run the script, add client with name example
  • Remove WireGuard using script menu
  • Run the script again, specified same client name example

The resulting file has.:

[Interface]

[Peer]

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify where the uninstall function in the script removes WireGuard but does not delete client configuration files. Modify the uninstall function to remove the directory containing client configs (usually /etc/wireguard/clients) or individual files. Ensure the removal happens before or after WireGuard package removal.
