## About
*i2pd-launch* overwrites with zeros and then deletes current [i2pd router](https://i2pd.website)
state files containing: routerid,
proxy local destinations, interfaces id, default log file.
After that *i2pd* is started with clean, pristine state.
## Platforms
*i2pd-launch* works only on [Scoop](https://scoop.sh) based i2pd installations.
Installation can be global or user.
### Retry strategy
If state file to be overwritten and deleted exists but can not be overwritten and deleted,
operation will be retried several times.
This happens due to antivirus or search indexer interference.
*i2pd-launch* will continue and start i2pd even if some state files could not be overwritten and deleted.

2. scoop install i2pd
