Openvswitch daemon failing during microcloud init

Hi
I had working microcloud setup with 3 arm64 boards running Ubuntu Core. For trying something else, I destroyed the whole setup by removing and purging all related snaps

After that I am trying to setup microcloud again but during

microcloud init

I keep on getting following error

Error: Failed to get OVN client: Failed to get OVN southbound connection string: Failed to run: ovs-vsctl get open_vswitch . external_ids:ovn-remote: exit status 1 (ovs-vsctl: unix:/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock: database connection failed (No such file or directory))

Is there anything that I need to differently here?

@masnax are you able to advise on this? Thanks
