Thanks Vince, That is good advice. I tried that more than once and the problem persists so i'm ready to drive out to the location and collect the SD card to format it so i can start fresh.
This is the first weather station I built so I probably did something wrong when I first set it up. I remember following an article that stored the weewx reports in RAM rather than on the sd card to preserve the life of the sd card. I have no idea how to disable that so maybe its something like that which is locking the system into thinking weewx is in it's original deb installation. This is the tutorial <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Minimize-writes-on-SD-cards>.
