What's the simplest way to delete all of the contents in a FGDB using arcpy?
I was able to get the following code to work.
<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> arcpy arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>env<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>workspace <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> r<SPAN class="string token">"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">for</SPAN> objFeatureClass <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>ListFeatureClasses<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Delete_management<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>objFeatureClass<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">for</SPAN> objTables <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>ListTables<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Delete_management<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>objTables<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">print</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"Process Complete"</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
If there will be nothing left, just delete the gdb. then recreate it with the same name.
Or is there something else that needs to be maintained?
