Neo4j Graph Platform Desktop

Hello Manish,

My recommendation would be to:

  1. Stop the database.
  2. Copy the contents of the database folder somewhere for safe-keeping. (In Neo4j Desktop, you can go to Manage -> Open Folder (for the database you are working on)
  3. In the Finder window, navigate to the data/databases folder and copy the entire database folder.
  4. Copy the contents of the graph.db folder somewhere for safe-keeping. (Important! This your backup!)
  5. Uninstall Neo4j Desktop.
  6. Reinstall Neo4j Desktop
  7. Create a new local graph in a project.
  8. Start the graph (this will create a new graph.db folder)
  9. Stop the graph.
  10. Copy the backup graph.db over the graph.db folder you just created.
  11. Start the graph.

Hopefully, this will enable you to start fresh with your saved database.
