I would like to delete Toolset and any fields it may have created in my database completely and begin a fresh install

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know, you want to just reset your site? If yes, then you should use the plugin such as:

i was using a previous version of toolset sometime ago but deactivated it. i then recently purchased a new license and activated that but found many of the post types i created before were still active

i would like to delete these post types and start again but i get an error message

[Minesh]

I suggest if you do not need any content/data from your existing site, I suggest to reset it to wordpress default.

Or
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).

Or - Start with a brand new clean install.

Hi, its a bit drastic having to delete my whole website just to get rid of Toolset.

the other options given don't work unfortunately

Well - the deletion of content is actually a critical thing. You MUST take the full backup of your database and website so in any situation you will have backup and you can restore it.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
Could you please confirm you just wanted to delete the post types - correct? If yes, could you please share access details.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Could you please again confirm what you want to delete - Post types created using Types and ALL custom fields?

[josephC-2]

Yes, i would like to confirm this. thanks

[Minesh]

Could you please check now, I've deleted all custom fields and post types.

[josephC-2]

Thanks Minesh all gone. can you tell me what the issue was?

[josephC-2]

Sorry, i also need to get rid of the Layouts - Artists Detail Page and Layout for Tracks

[Minesh]

Ok - I deleted layouts as well. I deleted from the database as we delete the post type first, that was causing the issue. Now, looks all Ok.

[josephC-2]

Thanks Minesh. all looks good.

[Minesh]
