Question: I know this question is asked by many people already  

for my research, here's some questions asked before

1. [How to delete all relationships in neo4j graph?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12899538/how-to-delete-all-relationships-in-neo4j-graph)
2. <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/neo4j/lgIaESPgUgE>

But after all, still can't solve our problems,  

we just want to delete "ALL" nodes and "ALL" relationships

![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZuKFY.png)

suppose delete "ALL" can see there are left **0 nodes 0 properties and 0 relationships**

This is the screenshot i took after executing the delete "ALL" suggested by forum 

My question still the same, how do delete all nodes and all relationships in neo4j

Answer: 
you are probably doing it correct, only the dashboard shows just the higher ID taken, and thus the number of "active" nodes, relationships, although there are none. it is just informative.

to be sure you have an empty graph, run this command:

```
START n=node(*) return count(n);
START r=rel(*) return count(r);

```

if both give you 0, your deletion was succesfull.
if the name of node is for example : abcd then below query will work :

```
MATCH (n:abcd)
DETACH DELETE n

```

This will only delete the node with label "abcd" and all its relation-ships.
