deleting databases

[Hendrik Boom-2]

Rereading the tutorial for the first time in years I discovered the llovely command

$ mtn db init --db=:beth

in section 2.3, which creates a database in a standard location,
normally $HOME/.monotone/databases

I immediately tried it out, and created

~/.monotone/databases/onion.mtn

And, of course, I then wondered how to delete it again.


Now I get to ask -- does monotone keep any information on this
database  outside of the database itself and the _MTN directories in
its workspaces.

Because if not, I can delete it with a simple
        rm ~/.monotone/databases/onion.mtn
but if so, there will be some other bookkeeping to do.

No, that is the only persistent storage mtn uses.

Yes, that suffices.

Unless, of course, you have synced it somewhere.

That's what I expected, but didn't know.
