NAME

6       tracker-reset - Reset the index and configuration

SYNOPSIS

10       tracker reset [--hard | --soft] [--config] [--file FILE]
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  reset command will change either your configuration or index irre‐
15       versibly and should be used with care. Other  than  tags,  actual  data
16       (e.g. files) should not be affected by this command.
17
18       The "index" is a link between your content (either locally or remotely)
19       and how it can be found quickly using a number  of  different  queries.
20       Under the hood, this is done using a database.
21
22       Removing  all  data and starting again from the beginning with an empty
23       data set (which is a common use of this command) is done by  using  the
24       hard reset option. This behaves as if Tracker was just installed.

OPTIONS

28       -r, --hard
29              This  kills  all  processes  in the same way that tracker daemon
30              --kill does  but  it  also  removes  all  databases.  Restarting
31              tracker-store re-creates the databases.
32
33       -e, --soft
34              A  soft  reset works exactly the same way that --hard does, with
35              the exception that the backup and journal are not removed. These
36              are  restored  when  tracker-store is restarted. This command is
37              useful if you have a corrupt database  but  want  to  reply  the
38              journal to restore it to the last known good place.
39
40       -c, --config
41              Resets all configuration to its defaults.
42
43       -f, --file FILE
44              Resets all indexed information about FILE, works recursively for
45              directories. Nothing will be  done  if  FILE  is  not  currently
46              indexed.  After deletion, a request to reindex this data will be
47              immediately issued.
