Reset and Wipe Personal Environment?

I love the free personal environments that OutSystems offers the community free of charge! It offers a lot of freedom to develop and test applications without the burden of contaminating your own business environments.

On various circumstances I had problems with my personal environment. It was offline for days and had to raise a ticket with support. It would be great if I have the option to reset my personal environment to the initial state. Meaning that all customizations and configurations on my personal environment are wiped.

I think this makes sense as it will take away some of the load from OutSystems support team.

There is a time period when one can Wake Up own personal environment. Provided Reset the environment will fulfil the missing gap.

Unfortunately I don't have that option available neither my colleagues. We only have the option Wake it up now. I received the following feedback from OutSystems.

Yes, we are really investing on this topic and the positive impact on your environment was a result of this initiative. We are looking at features like the one in your idea, but for now we don't have the vision closed nor a end date for this, but just to let you know that we are looking at this :)

This is a great idea. If the Environment is hung we will be able to restart/reset them without waiting for the support person to assist

Since it is so easy to build with OutSystems we may clutter our personal environment to a point that nothing seems to work as it should. One little example, I created static entity but forgot to change the Id type from integer to text. There is no way around to bypass that. What I had to do was to create another static entity with a diferente name with the right Id type.  Or one way to clear all of our data and metadata. I'am getting the same error over and over again, "object reference not set to an instance of an object" ...

Most of us learn by doing and we do that usually in our personal environment (and not our corporate account). The issue is that when doing so many tutorials and exercises you often end up in a messy environment with users/processes and other data that you don't really need and would like to get rid of. 

Of course you can remove the apps, use Service Center and DB Cleaner to do that but for starting (learning) users this is not so obvious and takes some effort.

It would be great if we get an option to clean (or just reset) the environment to be able to start from a fresh point again.

See 8659 - Reset personal environment to initial clean state and 7041 - Reset and Wipe Personal Environment

Still agree with the request though, should be a bit more clear for learning users that this cleaning needs to be done.
