Step 1: Reset Sandbox

Caution

Resetting a sandbox permanently deletes ALL data, schemas, datasets, dataflows, identity configurations, segments, merge policies, and ingested profile data. This action cannot be undone.

Wipes the sandbox and returns it to its original state. The CLI will prompt you to confirm the target sandbox name and then ask for explicit confirmation before proceeding.

Important

After reset, wait 60 minutes before CDP use or 120 minutes before AJO use.
