How to delete MPD music file database in Snakeoil? - hkphantomgtr - 28-Apr-2025
I think I've screwed up that database and the update takes forever to complete. I need a fresh UPDATE. May I need learn how to delete the file database in Snakeoil so that I can start over? Thanks a lot.

I assume you do not want to start from scratch and reinstall Ubuntu and SO. Try sudo apt purge mpd and then reinstall using SnakeOil tab.

Thanks. There is a small file holding this info, just I don't know the exact folder in SnakeOil SO.

The database is located in "/var/www/config/mpd_version/database"
E.g. if you're using mpd v23, it will be "/var/www/config/mpd-v23/database" and so on.
To delete everything, you can try
Code:
sudo rm /var/www/config/mpd*/database -iThis command will prompt you whether to delete the file(s) or not.
Once this is done restart MPD and do a re-scan to regenerate the database.
