Proposed workaround to clear all articles does not actually clear all articles

[chaaaaun]

Following the instructions above, reopening the application will lead to it repopulating with sample data. The only way to fully clear will be to use the delete -a command

Team's Response

Thanks for raising this issue!. However, this is something we had addressed in the user guide, we had told users that they needed to remove sample data before they were done with the clearing process! We understand that this may be inconvenient, but as the sample data size is relatively small (When I tested the workaround, there was only one sample article) , it would be easier to delete it than the user's own entries one by one. It is not super convenient but a good option that users should be aware of! However, I will concede that the line you pointed out is badly worded, and misleading. Still, I do not think the severity should be that high, as we had included a step by step guide that tells users that deleting the file will restore sample data.
