How to delete/create databases in Neo4j?

Question

Is it possible to create/delete different databases in the graph database Neo4j like in MySQL? Or, at least, how to delete all nodes and relationships of an existing graph t

Answer 1

Easiest answer is: NO

The best way to "start over" is to

• move to another empty data folder

or

• close Neo4j completely
• empty the old data folder
• restart Neo4j and set the empty folder as the data folder

There is a way to delete all nodes and relationships (as described here)

MATCH (n)
OPTIONAL MATCH (n)-[r]-()
DELETE n,r
