Comment 2 for bug 1952239

On the surface of it, it's surprising that a new controller has a UUID clash like that. Anyway, if you want to start fresh, try deleting those juju controller folders from vsphere and also check "juju controllers" to make sure there's nothing left behind there also. If there is, run "juju unregister" to get rid of it. Only do this for old controllers that did not start, don't do it for running controllers you want to keep.
