How do I reset LocalPM or delete a project?
To delete one project, open its Overview page and select Delete. There's no in-app reset button, so to start over completely, clear selfmadepm.com's site data in your browser settings, which deletes all LocalPM projects at once.
To delete a single project, open its Overview page and select Delete. LocalPM asks you to confirm first.
LocalPM doesn't have a "clear all data" button. To reset everything, clear the data your browser stores for selfmadepm.com.
Before you reset
Clearing site data is all or nothing. It will:
- Delete every LocalPM project, not just one, along with all stories, sprints, epics, team members, standups, and retrospectives.
- Remove your theme choice, so LocalPM follows your device's light or dark setting again.
- Be permanent. There's no undo and no server copy. The only way back is a backup file you exported first. See Can I back up or export my LocalPM data?.
If you just want to remove one project, use Delete on its Overview page instead.
How to clear LocalPM's data
The exact menu names vary by browser and version, but the steps are similar everywhere:
- Open your browser's Settings.
- Go to the Privacy (or Privacy and security) section.
- Find the option for site data, cookies and site data, or website data.
- Search for or select selfmadepm.com.
- Remove or delete the stored data for that site.
- Reload
/tools/localpm/. You'll see an empty dashboard.
Many browsers also let you do this from the page itself: click the icon to the left of the address bar while on selfmadepm.com and look for a site settings or cookies and site data option.
Make sure you're clearing data only for selfmadepm.com. Clearing data for all sites will also sign you out of other websites.
Smaller clean-ups you can do in the app
Besides deleting a whole project, you can delete most things inside it:
- Stories, from the Backlog. A story is deleted straight away, with an Undo notice for about 8 seconds.
These ask you to confirm in a dialog first:
- Sprints still in Planning, from Sprints (their stories go back to the backlog)
- Epics, from Epics (their stories are kept)
- Team members, standup entries, and retrospectives, from their pages
See What happens when I delete a sprint? and Where does LocalPM store my data? for more detail.
