## Nuking All the Data
If you want to **completely reset** Open WebUI—including all user data, settings, and passwords—follow these steps to remove the `webui.db` file.
### Step 1: Locate `webui.db` in Your Python Environment
If you’re unsure where `webui.db` is located (especially if you're using a virtual environment), you can find out by following these steps:
1. Activate your virtual environment (if applicable).
2. Open a Python shell:
python
3. Run the following code inside the Python shell:
```
import os
import open_webui
# Show where the Open WebUI package is installed
print("Open WebUI is installed at:", open_webui.__file__)
# Construct a potential path to webui.db (commonly located in 'data/webui.db')
db_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(open_webui.__file__), "data", "webui.db")
print("Potential path to webui.db:", db_path)
# Check if webui.db exists at that path
if os.path.exists(db_path):
print("webui.db found at:", db_path)
else:
print("webui.db not found at:", db_path)
```
4. Examine the output:
- If the file is found, you’ll see its exact path.
- If not, you may need to perform a broader filesystem search (e.g., using `find` on Linux or a global file search on Windows/Mac).
### Step 2: Delete `webui.db`
Once you’ve located the file, remove it using a command similar to:
```
rm -rf /path/to/your/python/environment/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/open_webui/data/webui.db
```
**Warning:** Deleting `webui.db` will remove all stored data, including user accounts, settings, and passwords. Only do this if you truly want to start fresh!
