Browsing raw data and wiping all data in a Sanity instance discussed.

Last updated: Apr 28, 2020
Is there a way to browse the raw data in a Sanity instance without creating a schema for it for Studio? I am working my way from a boilerplate project down to what I need, and I have some old documents referencing my documents so I can’t delete them

Yes! For example by curling the HTTP endpoints https://www.sanity.io/docs/http-api

There is a lot of garbage objects since I deleted most of the boilerplate schemas

The easiest way is to delete the dataset

right

There’s also this, but requires at least the sanity.json I think. Or maybe you can run it with project id and dataset name as env variables https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity-recipes/blob/master/snippets/deleteDocsByFilter.js
