I am running Ubuntu 22.04 server and initially installed Yugabyte 2.21.0.1-b1-linux-x86\_64. I tried to delete the directories ~/var… and the Yugabyte program files and reinstall Yugabyte 2.20.4.0. The problem is that I am using an application that keeps throwing this error, even after a fresh install: > Error connecting to Yugabyte database: cannot create schema: ERROR: Table system.transactions not found: OBJECT\_NOT\_FOUND (SQLSTATE XX000) The application I use works well on a different Ubuntu 22.04 server, but I can’t seem to get Yugabyte to work on this particular server even though the two servers are almost identical. The status looks fine: yugabyted | ±---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Status : Running. | | Replication Factor : 1 I would love to reset this with whatever the standard Yugabyte default are in terms of tables. Or figure out how to reinstall with a default installation. Thank you! ---

Hi @stuberman You can do `yugabyted destroy` and then start a new one. Does that work? ---

Excuse my ignorance, does the local Yugabyted download include a basic schema (system.transactions)? I tried ‘destroy’ and did that remove that as well? It seems that I now get errors trying to use the UI dashboard showing no YSQL databases. Is there a command to create the basic (original) tables that a new vanilla install includes? ---

No. The download only includes the software, no data. > [@stuberman](#): > > Is there a command to create the basic (original) tables that a new vanilla install includes? Destroy removes all data/schemas that were previously created. You have to do `yugabyted start` again to install a new cluster. ---
