NAME

       tracker-reset - Reset the index and configuration

SYNOPSIS

       tracker reset [--hard | --soft] [--config] [--file FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       The  reset  command  will  change either your configuration or index irreversibly and should be used with
       care. Other than tags, actual data (e.g. files) should not be affected by this command.

       The "index" is a link between your content (either locally or remotely) and how it can be  found  quickly
       using a number of different queries. Under the hood, this is done using a database.

       Removing  all data and starting again from the beginning with an empty data set (which is a common use of
       this command) is done by using the hard reset option. This behaves as if Tracker was just installed.

OPTIONS

       -r, --hard
              This kills all processes in the same way that tracker daemon --kill does but it also  removes  all
              databases. Restarting tracker-store re-creates the databases.

       -e, --soft
              A  soft  reset works exactly the same way that --hard does, with the exception that the backup and
              journal are not removed. These are restored when  tracker-store  is  restarted.  This  command  is
              useful  if  you  have  a  corrupt database but want to reply the journal to restore it to the last
              known good place.

       -c, --config
              Resets all configuration to its defaults.

       -f, --file FILE
              Resets all indexed information about FILE, works recursively for directories. Nothing will be done
              if  FILE  is  not  currently  indexed.   After  deletion,  a  request to reindex this data will be
              immediately issued.
