Hi Everyone, Excited to setup Signoz for our NestJS based microservices architecture, I just setup the docker installation and found out that the dashboard already contains some garbage data, how can I remove that ? can some one point me to the documentation if it already exists ?

Thanks Srikanth followed the exact steps, but still can see the data on my dashboard.
• Initially I installed Signoz with installation steps mentioned here (Link)
• This showed up the dummy data
• Updated the deploy/docker/clickhouse-setup/docker-compose.yaml file and removed hotrod service
• run install command again.
But the data in the dashboard is still visible, should I install fresh after editing the compose file ?

I am not sure if this step cleans the existing data ?

It will only stop generating new but the past data will be there. If you want to get rid of that you may want to do fresh installation with sample application disabled from the start.
