# Clean-Slate Utility

One-click namespace wipe for full content replacements — no stale vectors, no conflicting information.

> **Wipe a namespace in one call when content needs to be rebuilt, not patched.**

Most knowledge updates are incremental — add a new FAQ entry, upload a new product sheet. But sometimes the existing content is fundamentally outdated and the right move is to wipe and reload. The Oodlz knowledge layer ships with a clean-slate utility for exactly that case.

## How It Works

A standalone utility issues a delete-all call against a single retrieval namespace. After it runs, the namespace is empty. The next upload to that namespace starts on a clean slate — no remnants of old content, no stale vectors competing with the new ones in retrieval.

The typical workflow: prepare a revised CSV or document, run the clean-slate utility against the relevant namespace, then upload the new content through the standard upload form. Within minutes the agent is retrieving from a fresh, fully-replaced knowledge base.

## What You Get

* One-call namespace wipe — full reset without touching infrastructure.
* Clean reload guaranteed — no leftover vectors from previous uploads.
* Targeted to one namespace at a time — wiping FAQ doesn't touch the brand catalogue or instructional content.
* Fast turnaround — wipe and re-upload completes in minutes, not the hours a manual rebuild would take.
