  If you've run `amp`, you should also delete the hidden folder `$HOME/.amp`. Leaving `--full` out of the install command will skip installing apps. Hoewver, There is no side effect to reinstalling the apps, and it includes ancillary programs like `zip` and `curl`, so you're most likely best off running with `--full`. It will also restart Apache for you, which might be necessary.
