Best Way to Start Over with Data?

Austin Linford By 
July 23, 2011

What is the best way to start over? We want to get rid of all data, and import our data from scratch again on a nation.

Official response from

Use a batch action to delete the records that you do not want by clicking the + sign, adding them to the shopping cart and then deleting. This screencast describes the batch action process for records in detail.

    David – not unless something has changed in the last 10 months. They need to be deleted individually. I requested Nationbuilder support delete my entire nation and started over after a poor donor data csv import on my first nation.

    Hey Amanda — It looks like you were in touch with our Frontline Support team about getting help with batch deleting those donations. Are you still having trouble?

    unless you’ve imported donors. then you need to delete each donation one by one…
