How to delete Crossepg

[crx]

I've been having a few issues with my epg being out of sync etc., got up today and all the EPG data had gone except for free to air channels so I'm going to delete and start from new in case there is issues with the setup of the crossepg or something along those lines. My question is how to I completely delete it and start from scratch I noticed some people talking about putting the box to sleep which I don't have a clue about.

Many thanks

PS I'm running the latest image.

Better to say the build number instead of "latest".

You should be able to just delete the EPG from the load/save/delete option in the EPG menu. Ther will be no need to put box to sleep then. However that did not work for someone. Not sure if they had EPG saved in more than one place and it was somehow loading an old version.

That could be a possibility how would I find out if information could be saved elsewhere, Im using openvix 3 2 023...

Thanks

Paste this command in Putty. Overkill, but should remove all instances of epg.dat.

init 4 && sleep 10 && rm -rf /etc/enigma2/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/hdd/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/hdd1/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/hdd2/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/usb/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/usb1/epg.dat && rm -rf /media/usb2/epg.dat && init 3

Use DCC to remove.

Much easier to use both ways Abu pointed out above.

Yes, it is overkill. "EPG delete" deletes the epg.dat and the epg cache from the RAM. I.e. no EPG data can survive this operation.

I give this a go yesterday as my epg went gobbledegook and it wiped everything including all recordings on hdd, box crashed and wouldnt boot, had to do a clean install as it wiped my usb as well with back ups on, this on a xtrend 10k youve been warned.

Your mounts aren't set-up correctly. No recordings or back-ups were wiped.

update on my epg as i looked into what was stored in there and i see i have 3 recordings on usbalways used internal hdd for that.

Yes all gone mounts fine everything wiped just checked for files in dcc nothing blank page.
the way i normally do it is init 4 delete epg.dat then init 3 just thought i would give the way described a try

Whatever you have done, it is nothing to do with "Delete EPG".
