How to delete all data in a System Database


If you have just started up/installed, and have not registered any data within Mamut that you would like to keep, you can cut out numerous folders from the Data folder. This way you delete everything that has been stored, allowing you to start over.

Note! This procedure deletes all data stored in your database. therefore it should only be used if you do not wish to keep any of the data. The advantage of this method is that you can start working with an empty database without having to go through the installation process again. The procedure does not remove all files installed by the program.

How to delete all data in a system database and start again

  1. Close the program.

  2. Open the Windows Explorer.

  3. Find the location of the data folder.

    From version 12, the data folder is usually located here:

    Windows XP
    : C:\Documents and settings\All Users\PublicMamut\Mamut
    Windows Vista
    : C:\Users\Public\Public Mamut\Mamut

    The update will not change the location of Data folders installed for versions prior to version 12. Only the mamut.ini file will be moved if you are updating from a version older than version 12.

  1. Delete the Mamut folder.

  1. Start the program.

The program will start the First-time startup wizard, create a new empty database and you will be able to enter your preferred user name and password.

Uninstalling the program

Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs tool, located in the Control Panel, if you wish to remove the entire program. You can also use the install application on the CD. The procedure outlined above should only be used if you want to restart the program without any data.
