Want to clear out (uninstall) old (deprecated) OB before building new, but instructions are presently nonexistent for how to do so properly. Needs basic instructions for uninstall of deprecated and clean install for new version.

Note: This issue was resolved in the deprecated repository by a successful pull request, but the deprecated repository has recently been deleted in its entirety. This is unfortunate since the original project that spawned OB has also been deleted, and the only sign that Dark Market or the more recent (deprecated) Open Bazaar ever existed (on github at least) appears to be the reference at Dark Market github to the deprecated Open Bazaar.

Other than that, there is nothing left (except forks such as kusl's freemarket fork of Dark Market). Obviously we can see our own forks of the deprecated OB as well, such as mine, which can be seen here. But the signs of deprecated OB are suddenly disappeared from OB's formal repositor(ies).

The reason I have gone on about this for a few paragraphs is that I think that it is a mistake to obscure the history of OB (and the accomplishments and work, including comments, discussion, etc. of people who did development in the earlier version of OpenBazaar though I understand the need to focus and hone in on specifically one thing that is being presented to people who will be using this. But now all of that is gone. If I'm wrong please let me know but it does seem to me that indeed there is nowhere in OB's repositories (not directly and not with any obvious link) to see https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar and the discussions that took place under that repository.

If the deprecated repository was still in existence in OB's repositories I would have been able to look directly at what had been done in the successful pull request I'd made and examine how or whether to apply it to OB's new repositor(ies) easily (as well as examine any old discussions from the deprecated repo). However, now that is not possible, and the history of contributions to the project is obscured.

The problem is that people got constantly confused about which repository was the main repo.
