Hi all, is there a way to completely reset the db/start over outside of BI? In the process of dealing with storage issues (upgrading single 4tb drive to 2x 10 tb drives) and swapping out some cameras I’ve managed to get BI to become unresponsive so, as I have a backup of the old video (ie the original 4tb video drive), I want to completely reset at this point - remove all cameras and stored footage and re add the cameras. So is there a way to do this outside of BI? Short of uninstall/reinstall?

1) stop Blue Iris service
2) delete the video files
3) delete the files in the database folder
4) reboot the BI PC
This will clean up the database and video files but will not delete the current cameras .

Thanks I will give that a go when I’m at work on Monday. I’ve had to set something else to record until I get this resolved.
Do you know if there is a way to remove a couple cameras as well? During this process I may have gone a camera or so too far for the hardware which may be contributing to the problem
