What's the best method to wipe an entire labkey install (ie. the one on my laptop) and start fresh? Is there anything short of uninstalling labkey, deleting the postgres schema and reinstalling labkey?

Hi Ben,

You should be able to shut down the server, delete the Postgres database, and restart the server. The server will automatically recreate the database on startup. Be sure to exit pgAdmin before starting the server - it holds a lock that prevents LabKey Server from creating a new database.

Thanks,
Josh

thanks. is there a way to kill a single folder or a single study? I've been trying to do this through the web interface - it works ok for small folders, but does not work for big studies.

Hi Ben,

For single folders you need to go through the UI. I have noticed in the past that deleting an entire folder is faster than deleting just the study from a folder. It may also be faster to delete a project with no subfolders than to delete a subfolder of a project.

Thanks,
Josh
