Drop all data

It is possible to drop all data from your Dgraph Cloud backend, and start afresh while retaining the same endpoint.

Be careful, as this operation is not reversible, and all data will be lost. It is highly recommended that you export your data before you drop your data.

On-Premise

Drop data and schema

The /alter endpoint is used to drop data.

To drop all data and schema:

$ curl -X POST localhost:8080/alter -d '{"drop_all": true}'

To drop all data only (keep schema):

$ curl -X POST localhost:8080/alter -d '{"drop_op": "DATA"}'

The /alter endpoint can also be used to drop a specific property or all nodes of a specific type.

To drop property name:

$ curl -X POST localhost:8080/alter -d '{"drop_attr": "name"}'

To drop the type Film:

$ curl -X POST localhost:8080/alter -d '{"drop_op": "TYPE", "drop_value": "Film"}'
