XF 1.5 How to delete all threads and posts?

[syllogic]

Hi,

After testing my Xenforo setup I would like to clean out all threads, posts, messages, warnings etc. How would I go about this?

Thanks,
Syl

There is no really easy option to do that - you would be better off doing a new installation.

Taking a backup after configuring everything and before creating content is the optimum method: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/importing-guidelines.25325/

I was hoping I could replace a few files here and there, or clean out a database table. Isn't any of these an option?

Delete everything, members included? You can not drop only a single table for this, you must drop all the tables from the database.

You can just delete the node? Then re-add it back after you delete all the files.

That's a great idea! Thanks
