you don't have to run as super user to delete files in your own home directory.

tried typing that in and this is what I got in the terminal:
john@john-Z97MX-Gaming-5 ~ $ ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db
bash: /home/john/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db: Permission denied
am I typing it in correctly?

I just tried typing that in and got nothing:
john@john-Z97MX-Gaming-5 ~ $ rm -rf ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db
john@john-Z97MX-Gaming-5 ~ $
is it possible this file doesn't exist? I can't find it anywhere....

YaY!!!After a reboot That Did it!!!!
Kodi 17 started and even migrated all my addons and kept my settings..(thought I lost everything when I purged 16)
The confluence 7 icons was the only setting that didn't carry over.
I hope I can get used to the different layout!!!
Thanks again for your help!!!!
