How to uninstall sample data from Magento 2 using CLI?

Question

I have installed sample data in magento 2, due to power failures of system its stop in between. Later I saw, there were showing all categories and Products almost installed.

But at home page not seem any banner or product sliders.

I tried to install it again but it shown message associated email is already exist.

How I can re-install it via CLI ?

You must be delete customer data from database which is install before already. so first delete customer data and try again. — Suresh Chikani, Oct 03 '15 at 07:42
Hi, thank you. I trunk a **customer_entity** table. and perform same command again. Now it showing --URL key for specified store already exists-- Then I flushed **url_rewrite** then it working fine. — Praful Rajput, Oct 03 '15 at 09:29

There is no CLI command to uninstall the sample data. To do it you must drop the Magento 2 database. You can use magento setup:uninstall to do that.

Be careful that sample-data is not in composer.json or sample data might install again.

Hello Steve, Thank you for your answer. If I execute setup:uninstall command, what will happened there? Is Whole database truncate ? or relevant tables will truncate ? – Praful Rajput Oct 06 '15 at 13:18
The database is dropped. – Steve Johnson Oct 20 '15 at 10:42
