[tahoe-dev] Deleting a file on Tahoe

[Peter Secor]

If you don't care about the data on your grid anymore and just want to 
get rid of it all, you can stop the nodes and delete the files in the 
<basedir_to_tahoe>/storage directory for each node. That will delete all 
of the shares, and when you start the grid back up there will be no data.
