[Koha] Deleting all records in Koha

Delete all bibliographic records on the MySQL command line:

DELETE FROM issues;
DELETE FROM biblio;
DELETE FROM biblioitems;
DELETE FROM items;

Then rebuild the Zebra index for the bibliographic records on the Shell:

$ export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/YOURINSTANCE/koha-conf.xml
$ export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib
$ sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -b -v YOURINSTANCE

You didn't mention authority records, so these will be not touched by this.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael
