Clear Operations

Clear operations allow you to remove large sets of data efficiently.

Instead of deleting keys one by one, you can clear multiple keys based on patterns.

Clear All Data​

Remove all keys from a store:

await client.ClearAsync();
  • Deletes all data in the store
  • Use with caution

Clear by Prefix​

Remove keys that share a common prefix:

await client.ClearAsync(prefix: "user:");

Example​

"user:1"
"user:2"
"user:3"

All matching keys will be removed.

Clear by Range​

Remove keys within a specific range:

await client.ClearAsync(
    startKey: "user:1",
    endKey: "user:100");

When to Use Clear Operations​

  • Removing temporary data
  • Resetting application state
  • Cleaning up test environments
  • Managing large datasets

Important Notes​

  • Clear operations may affect many keys
  • Use prefixes carefully to avoid unintended deletions
  • These operations are not transactional
