How can I uninstall IPFS completely and restart everything from scratch and get a new peer id? I tried to delete the go-ipfs folder but I can still get Error: ipfs configuration file already exists! when I do ipfs init.

The data store as well as the config will be stored in a subdirectory .ipfs of your home directory. So if you are on a UNIX based system $HOME/.ipfs. You would have to delete this directory and then run ipfs init to get an empty store and a new peer id.
Note that you can also configure the location of the store directory using the IPFS_PATH environment variable, which can be useful to get the IPFS store on a different mount point.
