reinstall.php

PHP front-controller to destroy and re-install a Drupal (8) site.

Usage

Place this script into the document root of your Drupal site; i.e., /reinstall.php

Request it in your browser to drop all Drupal database tables and delete all configuration, so you can re-install from scratch.

Optional GET query parameters:

• delete=1
  Deletes settings.php and the files directory in the site directory (but not the site directory itself).
• main=1
  Unlocks reinstallation of of the main/default site. By default, only a [multi-]site may be reinstalled/deleted.

You may pass additional query parameters like langcode and profile, which will be forwarded to /install.php; e.g.:
http://drupal8.test/reinstall.php?delete=1&langcode=en&profile=testing
