Resetting the Anytype account. Anytype is quoted as an operating system. It’s fair to say it should have a reset option which would Delete everything and return Anytype to “factory” default.
Describe the solution you’d like
In the settings option, reset is present as an option. Clicking them should delete everything from the accounts and things related i.e setting, template, saved drafts and basically everything.
Agree with @Srinath here, ‘Factory reset’ is something else than deleting (still needed) and creating a new account. New users may try to fiddle around to warp their head around things and once everything is understood, reset and start ‘fresh’.
Most people want to reset because their workspace gets messed up. Ability to delete types/objects would sure save a lot of people from resetting. It’s just frustrating that you can’t delete them. If resetting can’t be made possible now, the delete option will do so good IMO.
First, the way Anytype works now, in Alpha, is different than how it will probably work in the future of public release, open source, etc. In alpha there are certain limitations that exist to benefit the test process and gathering useful data to inform development, among other things.
Second, deletion is a feature that is being worked on. If you want to get a new account in the meantime, please use the steps here:
@Oshyan if I read it correctly it is currently possible to delete all our data if we need but not a particularly a object as it would break the link from graph.
If so reset account being available to users will also be a useful one.
Sometimes people, maybe most, want to test everything anytype had to offer and clutter formed through testing could be easily deleted through reset and continue to setup properly with the same passphrase.
No need to wait till support has reissue a new anytype id and save the new passphrase.
Since we are currently logged in for anytype access if you reset anytype along with an option to remove data from backup node it would put users more in control of their data. Along with that we could continue to use the passphrase till or if we could have the ability to change them.
I think it is a neat feature, must have, for an Operating system.
I have found a workaround to reset Anytype. Please also consider the following answer of the topic.
I have placed this solution in front of my profile, if you lose it one day, you will only have to click on my name to access it quickly. I will remove it when the official method will be released or if it becomes obsolete.
