Clean environment data

Question

How is it possible to clean the data from an environment?

Sometimes there is a need for cleaning the environment with all data. This could be done in different ways. 

Answer

1. Export / Import model. This will clear all data in the environment. This is the fastest and recommended way.

2. Request for a backup or copy of another environment. This will clean the data and get back to a previous state.

3. Build you own console application or extensions to loop through all entities (time-consuming). 

Good to know

As stated in this article Restore there is a cost with doing a restore.
