Dvc: config error

[hankelvin]

Please provide information about your setup
DVC version:0.53.2, Platform: MacOSX and method of installation pip

I set up a remote to an S3, but went on to delete it (and all other remotes from dvc remote list), now I have an error on the config file which does not go away even though that remote referenced in the error message is no longer in my dvc remote list, or even after I tried adding a new remote.

ERROR: configuration error - config file error: config format error: Key 'remote "https://.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/"' error:
Missing key: 'url'

How could I resolve this?

Hi @hankelvin !

Could you please show your cat .dvc/config? Looks like you didn't add remote correctly in the first place and then removed it without removing the config section for it. How did you remove it, btw?

[efiop]

@hankelvin So now everything works?

[hankelvin]

no it does not. I have not been able to solve the config error as per my first post.

@hankelvin Do you have .dvc/config.local in your repo? Have you used --local/--system/--global flags when running dvc remote?

[hankelvin]

yes i do i have .dvc/config.local in my repo. I used --global when trying to set dvc remote

@hankelvin Ok, if the error is as it is in the original comment, then try running

dvc remote remove https://.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ --local
dvc remote remove https://.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ --global

[hankelvin]

it worked! thank you so much @efiop
