how do I reset WPML and delete all WPML-related data?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

If you want to start over with translating your website, you can remove the secondary languages and existing translations from your site and then do a WPML reset.

This removes all WPML-related data and tables from the database.

For the exact steps, see the page about deleting all WPML-related data and doing a WPML reset.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.

simon-royC	Hi there, I would to start over translating my website completely as it as changed a lot since I started experimenting with WPML translations. I would especially like to make sure that are no www_icl_xxx data left in the database. How can I do that? I've looked at this page: https://wpml.org/faq/how-wpml-reset-works/ but I couldn't find any reset button at the support page. Kind regards, Simon

If you can't see, then probably your installation is corrupted and you should notice other issues besides this button not appearing.
