# `mnemo reset`

Reset local config/state (keeps the CLI installed).

Options:

- `--scope <scope>`: `config`, `config+creds+sessions`, or `full`
- `--yes`: skip confirmation prompts
- `--non-interactive`: disable prompts; requires `--scope` and `--yes`
- `--dry-run`: print actions without removing files

Examples:

```bash
mnemo backup create
mnemo reset
mnemo reset --dry-run
mnemo reset --scope config --yes --non-interactive
mnemo reset --scope config+creds+sessions --yes --non-interactive
mnemo reset --scope full --yes --non-interactive
```

Notes:

- Run `mnemo backup create` first if you want a restorable snapshot before removing local state.
- If you omit `--scope`, `mnemo reset` uses an interactive prompt to choose what to remove.
- `--non-interactive` is only valid when both `--scope` and `--yes` are set.
