Delete Everything Related to Toolset and Start Over?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How to delete all content created with Toolset?

Solution:
You can use a plugin such as WordPress reset to revert the database to its initial state and wipe all content. Or if you need to delete only Toolset content you would need to delete content and settings through the WordPress backend or using database queries as described below: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/delete-everything-related-to-toolset-and-start-over/#post-606662

Is it possible to delete all Toolset data + content + DB "stuff" and start over?

I deleted all the custom post types, but it seems the individual [cpt] posts were not deleted. I know this because I installed the Types beta and activated many-to-many, and it found the orphaned posts.

Do you have other content you want to preserve or can you delete all content?

You can delete all content (effectively revert WP to when it was installed) using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-reset/

If you only want to delete the posts created using Toolset that should be done while Toolset is active, so that you can see the post types in the admin screens and delete them from there (bulk selecting and deleting if necessary).

You can then run a tool such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-database-cleaner/ to remove orphaned custom fields etc.

If Toolset is not active and the post types not registered, then you cannot access them from the admin screens and would need to run a SQL query directly on the database to remove them, using phpMyAdmin to make this easier. (You can run phpMyAdmin from within your WordPress admin pages using the ARI Adminer plugin.)

Or you can re-register the same post types using Types and then you should see the old posts in the admin pages again, from where you can delete them.
