[sentinix-list] Clearing Snort Database (revisited)

Hello all, 
 I'm trying to clear *all* of the alerts in the database and start from scratch. If  I use the method discussed last week on the list and go to snort_center/alerts/delete alerts/ selected, "all on screen or entire query" it will only delete the 50 alerts visable on the screen. There are currently 400,000+ in the database  I need to clear.

 Is there a method in snort center to clear "all" of the alerts in one fell swoop?

 If not, can someone give me the path to the mysql database files so I can empty them by hand? I have been unsuccessfull in locating them thus far...

Ive looked in:
/var/lib/mysql#

 and found:
[email protected]:/var/lib/mysql# ls -al
total 20592
