Based on the FAQ, here's how to completely reset Clawdbot on Windows while keeping it installed:

To reset configuration and start fresh:

  1. Run the onboarding wizard with reset option - The wizard detects existing config and offers a Reset option:

    clawdbot onboard

  2. Or manually reset the state directory - Delete or rename your state folder (then run clawdbot onboard to start fresh):

    Rename-Item -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.clawdbot" -NewName ".clawdbot-backup"
clawdbot onboard

What gets reset:

  • All configuration (clawdbot.json5)
#
  • Auth profiles (API keys, tokens)
  • Session history
  • Channel credentials (WhatsApp pairing, etc.)

What stays:

  • Your workspace folder (default: ~\clawd) — unless you also delete it
  • Any files you've created there

After reset:
Run clawdbot onboard --install-daemon to reconfigure everything from scratch.

If you want to completely uninstall (remove the CLI too):

npm uninstall -g clawdbot
# Then manually delete:
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.clawdbot"
