tailscale hanging on --login-server

Hi there, Probably the wrong server to post this in, but I was hoping to find a way to reinstall tailscale. I'm on a steam deck. It works just fine with no login server specified, but when I want to specify my own, it hangs. Last time this happened on a different device, it actually just took a minute or two to sort itself out. This time, however, it's been hanging for 30 minutes and no dice. I should note, the login server I specify works for all my other devices. Is there a ujust command I can try to reinstall tailscale? I only see one to enable it.
Solution:
Solved my own problem. I didn't specify https in the login server, and I think my CLI defaults it to http

Have you tried turning it off and on again? systemctl restart tailscaled.service? Looks like tailscale keeps it's settings in /var/lib/tailscale you can probably just remove the settings from there and it will be as if it's re-installed

Yes. No dice. Tried sudo rm -rf /var/lib/tailscale/*, but nothing was deleted. sudo ls /var/lib/tailscale still tells me all the files are still right there, as if they weren't deleted. I didn't wanna remove the tailscale folder, but it looks like I had to. Deleting everything in the tailscale folder and restarting did nothing. Bump
