Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. 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 set…

Yes or account removal which should enable one to create a new account which should be closer to resetting
