Hi guys,

Just playing around with EE and looking at the back end with myPHP.
Anyway, after having added and removed a bunch of channels, I noticed the channel_id won’t start back at 1.  In fact, now that I’ve created many channels and deleted them, channel_id starts at like 7 (which would have been the next channel_id with the auto-increment if I hadn’t deleted the channels.

I’d like to know how to reset this auto-increment down to 1 as I am now ready to build my site and would like to start my channels at channel_id 1.

I realize it probably doesn’t matter but it would make me feel better and more organized if I could.

There is no supported way to reset that id, as it were. If it’s important to you and provided you’re at the beginning of your development work a simple reinstall might be the quickest fix.
