title: Clear Firestore database of all data?
body: <p>After over a year of development, I have a pretty well developed site. Now I'm going to open it up for a public beta but I need to clear my Firestore of all it's data (it's all test data). Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to delete every single entry by hand? (There are over 1000 entries). The only realistic option I can think of at the moment is to switch Firebase projects to a new one, which is not something I want to do.</p>
  <p><strong>Solution</strong>: After reaching out to Firebase support, I was given the following CLI command to run, which did the trick:</p>
  <pre><code>// THIS WILL PROMPT CONFIRMATION AND WILL USE ACTIVE PROJECT
  firebase firestore:delete --all-collections
  
  // !!! WARNING !!! THIS WILL NOT PROMPT CONFIRMATION AND WILL USE ACTIVE PROJECT
  firebase firestore:delete --all-collections -y
  </code></pre>
  <p>Remember to use caution, as <em>this will wipe your entire Firestore database</em>.</p>
