Deleting the/var/lib/dockerdirectory will not upgrade Docker Engine CE to Docker Engine EE. It will only remove all the data stored by Docker, such as images, containers, volumes, and networks. This can cause data loss and disrupt the running services. To upgrade from Docker Engine CE to Docker Engine EE, you need to follow the official instructions from Docker, which involve uninstalling the CE package and installing the EE package. You also need to have a valid license to use Docker Engine EE.Reference:

This seems tricky! I vaguely recall something about Docker Engine versions, but I can't remember if deleting that directory affects the edition.

I could be wrong, but I thought the upgrade process involved specific commands rather than just deleting a directory.

I think deleting the '/var/lib/docker' directory might reset Docker, but I'm not sure if it actually upgrades it to EE.
