Greetings,
I have Drupal 7.33 installed, and I have added various free themes, several modules, and overall made a solid mess of the things :)
I am ok with that, as it is part of the learning process. However, I would now like to "reset" my installation to like new. I was going to just uninstall the installation with the easy scripts provided by my host company, however, when I went to do that, there was a notification that since this was my top level CMS under the www directory that it would destroy all files and folders under that.
Underneath the www directory I have 3 other sites, running other CMS's established, so just simply uninstalling and reinstalling drupal seems to be out of the question.
Is there another way to reset the install and db so that I can "start over fresh" and work from there?
Thanks in Advance, and Happy Saturday.
Ryan

Running multiple cms's like this (or even with static sites below drupal in the file system) can sometimes cause problems when path's conflict (i'm actually surprised you didn't have any problems already). So you might want to take some time now and fix it (keep all your apps top level in the root html folder).
That said however, to reset your drupal install completely:
Now when you navigate to the site, you'll start as if you just downloaded it.
Also, never use a host auto installer for anything but experimentation.
Thanks for the reply, this
Thanks for the reply, this didnt work in the manner that I hoped it would.
So now I think I should just manually de-install the whole mess and reinstall it manually. That way I can learn and not be dependent on host auto installers.
Where could I get more information on manual removal and then I can just start over with the fresh install data.
Live and learn I suppose :)
Thanks Again!

What were you expecting? And what actually happened?
Don't know if there any actual docs on in-installing but it's as simple as deleting the db and the files.
Hopefully every day!
