if your bitcoin node on umbrel ever gets hung up in a "Starting" state forever and doesn't load, here's the fix:

1. ssh into your node (via Terminal on Mac or Command Prompt on Windows) by entering this command:

ssh umbrel@umbrel.local

then enter your password.

2. then remove two files, which were probably corrupted by a bad shutdown, one by one. to remove the first file enter this command:

sudo rm ./umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/settings.json

And to remove the second file enter this command:

sudo rm ./umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/peers.dat

3. then reboot your umbrel by entering this command:

sudo reboot

//

all your apps will have to reload so give it 10-15 minutes, but if you go back into your umbrel dashboard and click your bitcoin node it should be syncing again.
