Clearing out Firebase's Realtime Database

Tags firebase
  • Clearing out s a large amount of data from Firebase's Realtime Database can be tricky as there's not an obvious delete button available.
  • Using a plain text editor, create file called blank.json that contains just an open and close curly brace {}

  • Save this file to your local computer.
  • Log into Firebase, select your project and then click "Realtime Database" from the left menu.
  • Click the three-vertical-dots button, select "Import JSON", then select your blank.json file.

  • This will clear out all of the saved data and reset the database.
