NAME

       tracker-reset - Reset the index and configuration

SYNOPSIS

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

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
              This  removes all config files in $HOME/.config/tracker. All files listed are files
              which were found and successfully removed.  Restarting the respective processes re-
              creates the default configuration files.
