Where does hyperledger fabric store the database for the blockchain?

Question

Hi. I need to know where the Hyperledger fabric stores the database of the Blockchain. I am trying to develop a new chaincode and so I want to clean up the existing Blockchain. I am working on Ubuntu machine and want to delete the relevant files of Hyperledger fabric. So can you tell me where the files of Hyperledger is stored? 

Answer 1

The data of the Hyperledger Blockchain is stored in folder /var/hyperledger/production/db. Go to this directory:

$ cd /var/hyperledger/production/db

and then remove all the files in it:

$ rm -rf *

Answer 2

If you want to delete the installed chaincode, then you can use Docker to delete it. Try this command:

docker stop $(docker ps -aq) && docker rm $(docker ps -aq)

Answer 3

You can also try restarting the docker. It will clear the Blockchain. 

$ docker restart

Answer 4

Try 

$ chaincode stop

Hey @Dinesh. This might stop the chaincode but the requirement is to clear the files.
