How to reset your Ghost blog Content
Updated on Nov 23, 2022
Unlike other blogging apps that require specific mods or plugins to perform a "Hard Reset," Ghost includes a built-in switch that allows you to delete all posts and tags with a single click.
This is useful if you are working on a project but are unhappy with how the content turned out and want to start over without installing a new Ghost instance. Another scenario in which this functionality can be helpful is when you want to migrate content from another blog and want to delete the existing posts and tags so they don't interfere with the new stuff you're about to deploy.
In this section of the Ghost Tutorial, we'll go over how to "Hard Reset" your blog and start from scratch. Let's get started!

When the process is finished, you will see a message at the top of the page that says, "All content deleted from the database."
