<!-- Greeting --> Hello @pamflores-clip! I'm here to assist you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you may have. Let's work together to resolve your issue. <!-- Answer --> To delete all data in a project without deleting the actual project, you can use the "Collect Data in Full Refresh Mode." This mode will delete all existing data within the designated time range and re-collect it. Here are the steps: 1. Go to the Config UI at http://localhost:4000. 2. Navigate to the project you want to refresh. 3. Set the synchronization policy to "Collect Data in Full Refresh Mode." 4. Start the data collection process. This should remove the outdated or incorrect data and re-collect it from the original tools <sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake-website/blob/main/docs/Configuration/Tutorial.md)</sup>. If you have already tried this and the data is still not updated, there might be an issue with the specific version you are using (v1.0.1-beta7@3f84bae). Unfortunately, I couldn't find any known issues or bugs related to the 'Collect Data in Full Refresh Mode' for this version <sup>[[2]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake-website/blob/main/docs/DataModels/DevLakeDomainLayerSchema.md)</sup>. As a workaround, you can manually delete specific records from the database using the `Delete` method provided by the Dal interface. Here are the steps: 1. **Identify the Record**: Determine the specific record you want to delete. This usually involves knowing the primary key or a unique identifier for the record. 2. **Create an Entity Instance**: Create an instance of the entity that represents the record you want to delete. Populate it with the necessary identifying information. 3. **Call the Delete Method**: Use the `Delete` method from the Dal interface to delete the record. ### Example Code ```go // Assuming you have a User model and you want to delete a user with a specific email user := &models.User{ Email: "[email protected]", // assuming this is the Primary key } err := db.Delete(user) if err != nil { // handle error } ``` ### Precautions to Take 1. **Backup Data**: Always ensure you have a backup of your data before performing delete operations. 2. **Verify Identifiers**: Double-check the identifiers to ensure you are deleting the correct record. 3. **Test in a Safe Environment**: If possible, test the delete operation in a staging or development environment before executing it in production. 4. **Error Handling**: Implement proper error handling to catch and log any issues that occur during the delete operation. 5. **Transaction Management**: If the delete operation is part of a larger set of database operations, consider using transactions to ensure atomicity and consistency <sup>[[3]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake-website/blob/main/docs/DeveloperManuals/Dal.md)</sup>. By following these steps and precautions, you can safely and effectively delete specific records from the database without using the UI. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To continue talking to [Dosu](https://dosu.dev), mention @dosu.* -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
