TRACKER3-RESET(1) Tracker manual TRACKER3-RESET(1)
NAME
tracker3-reset - Reset the index and configuration
SYNOPSIS
tracker3 reset [--filesystem | --rss] [--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
-s, --filesystem
Removes data stored by tracker-miner-fs(1). The miner will
automatically recreate its cache from the filesystem when it
restarts.
-r, --rss
Removes data stored by tracker-miner-rss(1).
-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.
