Being a new Cumulus user, I have played around with settings, but now wish to start again with a clean slate.
Can someone spell out (or point me to) the procedure for clearing all data and starting from scratch in Cumulus? Presumabley reinstaling the software would achieve the desired aim, but seems a little drastic.

Re: Cumulas Data Reset
Yes, Ron's correct, delete the contents of the data folder. Just to add that reinstalling actually has no effect on your data. Makes sense, if you think about it...

Re: Cumulas Data Reset
Thanks for that. In fact I have just come accross an October 10 posting entitled "Clearing data from Cumulus" and this seems to confrm, as you say, to clear the contents of the 'Data' directory.
If no one comes back with dire warning about doing this, I will try it tomorrow.

Re: Cumulas Data Reset
No disrespect intended. I was composing my reply to the original posting whilst Steve also responded. Net result it looks as if I was questioning his reponce. Just a quirk of using a forum. Thanks to all, data now cleared.
