# Purge Connector Datastores

(Applies to IDOL Connectors.)

IDOL Connectors keep a record of the items that have been fetched from a repository. If you run the `synchronize` action again, the connector only processes new, updated, and deleted items. If you want to reset the connector so that it performs a full synchronize, you can purge the datastore file.

To purge a connector datastore

1. On the Control menu, click Console.
2. Click the Service Control tab.

3. Click Purge Datastore.

   The Purge Datastore dialog box opens.

4. Choose the datastore(s) to purge.

   - To purge the datastore for a single fetch task, select the name of the task and click Purge.
   - To purge the datastores for all fetch tasks, click Purge All.

   IDOL Admin schedules the datastore(s) for purging.
