How do I delete everything in Redis?

Question

I want to delete all keys. I want everything wiped out and give me a blank database.

Is there a way to do this in Redis client?

Answer 1

There are different approaches. If you want to do this from remote, issue flushall to that instance, through command line tool redis-cli or whatever tools i.e. telnet, a programming language SDK. Or just log in that server, kill the process, delete its dump.rdb file and appendonly.aof(backup them before deletion).
