Delete all Tomboy Notes in Ubuntu One (Reset)

Thanks for your reply and your clear instructions.

I am not sure, why it did not work with my first attempts. Yesterday I marked all entries in tomboy and delete this entries. After sync my "ubuntu one notes" were clean, all notes are vanished. Then I did a new set up and copied my saved Tomboy folder under local/share/.

This does not work for me, because when I do step 9, synchronization tells me it is downloading changes from the server and deletes most of my notes. I think the root of the problem is that, even if your notes section on the website looks empty, ubuntu one remembers that it has to delete notes, and there is no "reset" button to make it start completely anew. The same kind of thing happens with tomboy when using ssh sync or local folder sync (i've tried all sorts of combinations), but I think you can work around it by starting local folder sync from scratch on a new local folder. The ubuntu one equivalent of this workaround, in the absence of a "reset" button, might be to create a new ubuntu one account and start from scratch. I also tried copying the notes that were deleted by the sync back into .local/share/tomboy. This way they don't get deleted again in the next sync, but most of them don't get synched back to the server either.

For now I am switching back to local folder sync + dropbox (which means no sync to my n900 phone).

It does not work for me either.

After cleaning local folder, and trying to sync to clean the server (step 4), it happens that all the old notes from the server get downloaded again in my local folder.

Is there another way to clean the U1 server from the notes? I have hundreds of them...so clicking "delete" on each of them in U1 is no solution.

Same problem here...

To delete the notes completely the following needs to be done:
Please note that database removal cannot be undone.

On all machines that are attached to your ubuntuone account:
 1. Download the script from http://people.canonical.com/~roman.yepishev/us/desktopcouch-admin.py
 2. Run it as "python desktopcouch-admin.py --drop notes"
This will remove the local copy of the notes database.

On one of the machines that are attached to your ubuntuone account:
 1. Download the script from http://people.canonical.com/~roman.yepishev/us/ubuntuone-couchdb-query
 2. Run it as "python ubuntuone-couchdb-query --http-method=DELETE notes"
This will remove the server-side version of the notes database.

Visit https://one.ubuntu.com/notes/ and verify that all notes are gone.

It is necessary to remove all local notes databases too because the replication will recreate the missing databases unless all copies are destroyed.

Roman, the last procedure does not work and gives the following output. Any ideas why? I'm desperate that my syncing doesn't work anymore..........
