Deleting metadata database with Unraid

I was hoping to delete and start completely fresh with my Immich install on Unraid (using the standard install steps - not the CA app). I first deleted the existing stack and then re-setup the stack using the installation instructions. When I went to boot for the first time though I found it was already "setup" with my old user account and metadata (now pointing to broken files because I nuked the files as well). I assume the metadata was somehow stored in a postgres DB outside of the container and thats how it somehow persisted across deletion and recreation? How would I go about resetting this completely?

Note: I did find this page but it doesn't really seem to actually show how to delete the metadata - it just says issue docker-compose down and thats it
