CLERING MAXIMUM COVERAGE CURVE ON THE MAP
The maximum coverage curve data is stored in file distances.json. If you want to clear the coverage plot and start a fresh plot, stop mm2, delete this file and start mm2. Upon start, when mm2 does not find file distances.json, it creates it's new blank copy, and start populating it with fresh data.
IMPORTANT: Stop mm2 before deleting the file distances.json.
sudo systemctl stop mm2
sudo rm /distances.json (For installation made before February 23, 2021)
sudo rm /usr/share/mm2/distances.json (For installation made on or after February 23, 2021)
sudo systemctl start mm2

sudo systemctl stop mm2
sudo systemctl disable mm2
sudo rm /lib/systemd/system/mm2.service
