Reimaging Your Machine
At any time you wish you may reimage, or reinstall, your machine. This action is irreversible, and will mean that your machine loses all data stored upon it.
The end result of a reimage will be that your machine is running a pristine copy of Linux.
If there are local files upon your machine please ensure you have them backed up prior to your reimage. To backup files you might want to take advantage of the free backup space which is provided with each of our machines.
Getting Started
Once you’ve connected to your console shell you may begin the reimaging process by pressing “Ctrl+p Ctrl+o” to invoke the actions menu.
From the actions menu choose “Reimage your machine”, and you’ll be guided through the process.
