I have just purchased a Nevada WH1080PC and have cumulus installed on the computer. The staion has now been running for 2 days and everything seems to have settled down. The data tho is show rainfall as 20mm and last 24 hrs as 1.8mm. As we have not had any rain for a few weeks this data is obviously wrong. What I would like to do is reset everything so I can start the logging from scratch but am finding it difficult to do. I have been in the edit menu but nothing happens when I press reset of set the rainfall to zero. Anyone know how I can reset everything to start again. my website is www.meteor.org.uk and clickinn the sun takes you to cumulus weather station

There shouldn't be any subfolders in the data folder; Cumulus doesn't create any. What are their names?

Those are files, not folders. You just need to do what the FAQ says and delete the contents of the data folder.

It's absolutely clear. Delete the contents of the the data folder. The files that you have listed are the contents of the data folder.
