If you want to clean up entirely, including removing any state
concerning Entry schema etc, stop the space, delete any associated files
and restart it.

If you're using Transactions you probably want to do the same with your
Mahalo.

You can use that method but schema information mightn't be removed so if
you change the Entry structure and attempt to write/take with it things
might well break.

Which experimental thingy (cos there are a few :) ?

I'm guessing you mean BlitzAdmin.clean()?

That method clears out all entry's, aborts transactions (only
internally), blocking calls and removes Entry schemas too - basically,
your Blitz should be good as new after this.

You may get knock-ons to your Mahalo but it will clear most of those out
- probably still best to stop it, clean dirs and restart it.

Hope that helps,

Dan.
