Description
This command line option will cause the installer to
- Delete the .node-red directory, thus removing any installed nodes and customisations, including settings.js.
- Replace any customised systemd startup script with the current release version.
- Force re-install of node-js using the current default version (
--node24, --node26 etc will override this).
- Always run node-red admin init (
--no-init will override this).

Well of course the script has changed since then. I have deleted my code below.
