Reset

openclaw reset

Reset local config/state (keeps the CLI installed).

openclaw reset
openclaw reset --dry-run
openclaw reset --scope config --yes --non-interactive
openclaw reset --scope config+creds+sessions --yes --non-interactive
openclaw reset --scope full --yes --non-interactive

Options

• --scope <scope>: config, config+creds+sessions, or full
• --yes: skip confirmation prompts
• --non-interactive: disable prompts; requires --scope and --yes
• --dry-run: print actions without removing files

Scopes

Scope	Removes	Stops gateway first
config	config file only	no
config+creds+sessions	config file, OAuth/credentials dir, per-agent session directories	yes
full	state dir (including config/creds if nested inside it) plus workspace dirs and workspace attestations	yes

config+creds+sessions and full stop a running managed gateway service before deleting state.

Notes

• Run openclaw backup create first for a restorable snapshot before removing local state.
• Without --scope, openclaw reset prompts interactively for the scope to remove.
• --non-interactive is only valid when both --scope and --yes are set.
• config+creds+sessions and full print Next: openclaw onboard --install-daemon when done.
