Undo all Umbraco work to reset to defaults

This skill may be a no-op on an already-empty site — run the Step 0 pre-check first and stop early if there is nothing to reset.

Follow the steps below in exact order. Deletion order matters — content must be removed before templates, and templates before document types.

Step 0 — Pre-check: is a reset even needed? (Umbraco MCP)

Before deleting anything, check whether the site already looks empty:

1. Call get-all-document-types.
2. If it returns zero document types (no non-folder document types and no document-type folders), the site is already at defaults. Report that the site is already empty and STOP here — do NOT run Steps 1–7.
3. If one or more document types exist, continue with the full reset below.

Document types are the backbone of all content, templates, and schema, so their absence reliably indicates an empty site.

Step 1 — Delete all Content (Umbraco MCP)

1. Call get-document-root to list root documents.
2. For each document, call move-document-to-recycle-bin with its ID.
3. Call empty-recycle-bin to permanently delete all trashed documents.

Step 2 — Delete all Media (Umbraco MCP)

1. Call get-media-root to list root media items.
2. For each media item, call move-media-to-recycle-bin with its ID.
3. Call empty-media-recycle-bin to permanently delete all trashed media.

Step 3 — Delete all Templates (Umbraco MCP)

1. Call get-template-root to list all templates.
2. For each template, call delete-template with its ID.

Step 4 — Delete all Document Types (Umbraco MCP)

1. Call get-all-document-types to list all document types.
2. For each document type (non-folder), call delete-document-type with its ID.
3. For each document type folder, call delete-document-type-folder with its ID.

Step 5 — Delete all Stylesheets (Umbraco MCP)

1. Call get-stylesheet-root to list all stylesheets.
2. For each stylesheet, call delete-stylesheet with its path.

Step 6 — Filesystem cleanup (PowerShell script)

Run the pre-built cleanup script:

& ".github/skills/umb-reset/reset-filesystem.ps1"

This script:

• Deletes all files in src/MyProject/wwwroot/css/
• Deletes custom partial views in src/MyProject/Views/Partials/ (preserves blockgrid/blocklist/singleblock)
• Deletes generated template .cshtml files in src/MyProject/Views/ (preserves _ViewImports.cshtml and _ViewStart.cshtml)

Step 7 — Verify

Confirm all trees are empty:

• get-document-root returns 0 items
• get-media-root returns 0 items
• get-template-root returns 0 items
• get-all-document-types returns 0 items
