Reset Orchard to look like fresh install

Question

Couple of custom modules were not working. I disabled/deleted them and tried to enable/install again. It did not work. I decided to start from scratch. So I deleted all the database tables (I am using SQL Server 2008). Is this not enough?

If I run the project, I see the directory listing for /orchardlocal/.

What else I have to do?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Just delete the appdata folder, just as simple. It will be a fresh install then.

Answer 2

On top of deleting the App_Data folder from the Orchard.Web project, you can reset the db by deleting one table at a time or you can quickly delete all tables by running this script

USE [myorcharddb]
GO

EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1 = "DROP TABLE ?"

Note: All tables in the database will be dropped. You cannot undo this!

Answer 3

If you're running standard Orchard, wiping out the AppData folder will do the trick.

However, it will not if you're deployed on Azure/Azure emulator. Then you have to remove the PREFIX-site "folder" (with PREFIX being the azure storage prefix for your site) from the Azure blob storage (it's not really a folder, as there are no real folder in the blob storage, but you know what I mean).

If you're testing on the Azure emulator, the quickest way to accomplish that is by resetting the blob storage from the storage Emulator UI.
