    How to reset Umbraco to default.. blank install

    Is there a way to do this? I want to start a fresh install (no nodes, back to default install page).

    It's not possible from within the interface, the easiest way is just to delete the database then recreate it, then goto http://YourWebsite/Install/default.aspx to run the scripts again.

    Haven't tested this, I usually just set up a new install.

    Ok,  I will probably drop all the tables and try running the install script. e.g.

    SELECT 'DROP TABLE ' + [NAME] FROM sys.tables 

    Then run the output from that.

    You should go with Rich's method, drop the database, create a new empty db and restart with the install procedure to make sure db is populated with necessary tables

    I find it's a good idea to create a database backup right after I've done a fresh installation, and then I just restore from the same backup when I want to go back to a fresh database install. It's good for testing other packages, or when you need to test your own.

    How can you do this if you do not have access to the database?
    I saw a link to a 'clean sweep' package on these forums but the link is dead.

    Seems like an obvious thing.

    If you delete the database, remove the connection string for the database, and clear the contents of the umbracoConfigurationStatus appSetting it should get you close to what you want. At least this is how we are handling it.
