Android: Delete entire database

Question

Hi,

I would like to delete a complete database created by my application.

Do you know any adb command, or android sentence to do it?

Thanks in advance. Best regards. Jose.

Answer 1

I think you need to start up your emulator with the command: -wipe-data

Answer 2

You can run the command:

adb -s emulator-5554 shell (or whatever port you use)
cd /data/data/<packagename>/databases/

By typing ls, you will see the databases created and you can remove the one you want with rm

rm myapp.db

Answer 3

Perhaps this is too obvious but uninstalling the application via Manage Applications will remove the db, assuming it's in the application's files dir.
