Completely Reset Lightroom Classic

Question

I'm new to LrC/PS.   I have the Adobe Photography Plan subscription for my MacBook.  I have made several catalogs and made a lot of mistakes organizing those catalogs.  Fortunately, I haven't created any work that i want to keep, so I want to start over.   Should I delete my catalogs, if so how?  (I do not my existing catalogs to interfere in any way with the new ones.). Or should I uninstall LrC/PS and reinstall?

Hi @bills1945 Did the links provided by @GoldingD give you an answer?

"Should I delete my catalogs, if so how?"

Yes.you can. Use the operating system File Browser to delete the Catalog files associated with each catalog.

To find catalogs in your system- Hold down the [OPT] key when your start LrC - a dialog window will list all catalogs and the file path to each.

"....to interfere in any way with the new ones."

Only you can know which is a "new one" if you want to preserve a recent catalog.

You MUST NOT delete (move, or rename) your original photo files!
