tracker-reset(1) User Commands tracker-reset(1)NAMEtracker-reset - Reset the index and configuration
SYNOPSIS
tracker reset [--hard | --soft] [--config]
DESCRIPTION
The reset command will change either your configuration or index irre‐
versibly 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.
