Installing weewx-multi involves two fundamental steps; installing (and 
configuring) the weewx-multi init.d script and setting up a config file for 
each instance. It sounds like you may well have reverted the config file 
changes, but without changing the operation of the weewx-multi init.d 
script you will continue to experience issues.

I haven't reverted a weewx-multi install but two approaches come to mind. 

First, you could work through the How to run multiple instances of WeeWX 
wiki article 
<https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/weewx-multi#how-to-run-multiple-instances-of-weewx>
 
and 'undo' the weewx-multi setup. This would involve going back to a single 
WeeWX config file (/home/weewx/weewx.conf or /etc/weewx/weewx.conf 
depending on your WeeWX install) and replacing the weewx-multi init.d 
script by installing the standard WeeWX init.d script. For a setup.py 
install the instructions for installing the WeeWX init.d script can be 
found at step 4 of the WeeWX: Installation using setup.py page 
<http://weewx.com/docs/setup.htm>. For a package install you will need to 
manually download the WeeWX init.d script from GitHub before 
installing/configuring it. Something like (untested):

$ wget -P /var/tmp 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weewx/weewx/master/util/init.d/weewx.debian
$ sudo cp /var/tmp/weewx.debian /etc/init.d/weewx
$ sudo update-rc.d weewx defaults
 
The second approach would be to continue with weewx-multi but configure it 
to use a single WeeWX instance rather than two (or more) instances. This 
would involve working through the steps in the How to run multiple 
instances of WeeWX wiki article 
<https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/weewx-multi#how-to-run-multiple-instances-of-weewx>
 but 
only configuring for one instance (in the context of the current wiki 
article this would be configuring for 'house' but not 'paddock'). I have no 
idea if this will work, the script was written for multiple instances but 
on first glance it appears this may work.

Or I guess you could take the Windows approach and re-install everything :)

If it were me I would be reverting to the standard, single user init.d 
script. Less complex and more standard so likely easier to troubleshoot if 
things go awry.
