How to clear Recent Actions panel on Django Admin?

Question

How would I go about clearing or re-setting the "Recent Actions" Panel in the Django Admin?

I want the admin interface to look like a fresh install.

The "Recent Actions" panel in Django Admin displays LogEntry models. To clear it you would just delete all the objects:

from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry

LogEntry.objects.all().delete()

Worked a charm. Just for clarification I made sure i wan in the project directory and then ran this from the Django shell. `python manage.py shell` and just typed the above two lines. Worked perfectly once i restarted. – Deepend May 07 '14 at 16:55

You can clear Recent Actions of Django Admin.

First, open Django Shell with this command below:

python manage.py shell

Then, copy & paste these 2 lines of code below to Django Shell then press "Enter". That's it:

from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry
LogEntry.objects.all().delete()

Run in command prompt : python manage.py shell

Then type these lines one by one:

from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry
LogEntry.objects.all().delete()

and after excuting these lines type this line inside the shell to exit the shell:

exit()
