The device is a raspberrypi3 or specifically a raspberrypi0 wireless. I deleted:

/etc/mender  
/usr/bin/mender

with `sudo rm -r` and that seemed to go through and I decomissioned the device on the Dashboard of Mender. Now when I re-run the setup script on the Pi Getting Started guide button, no device shows up under Any or Pending devices…

What can I do?
