reset - CLI command	Clears cached Nx artifacts and metadata about the workspace and shuts down the Nx Daemon.

reset

Clears cached Nx artifacts and metadata about the workspace and shuts down the Nx Daemon.

Usage

nx reset

Install nx globally to invoke the command directly using nx, or use npx nx, yarn nx, or pnpm nx.

Examples

Clears the internal state of the daemon and metadata that Nx is tracking. Helpful if you are getting strange errors and want to start fresh:

 nx reset

Clears the Nx Cache directory. This will remove all local cache entries for tasks, but will not affect the remote cache:

 nx reset --only-cache

Stops the Nx Daemon, it will be restarted fresh when the next Nx command is run.:

 nx reset --only-daemon

Clears the workspace data directory. Used by Nx to store cached data about the current workspace (e.g. partial results, incremental data, etc):

 nx reset --only-workspace-data
