Add option in expert setting to reset all databases to zero state as if it is a fresh install or it could be split as reset pictures database, reset music database and reset video database and a warning message follows that indicate it is about to reset to zero
Also add option in expert setting to delete all thumbnail cash
Also add option as reset all setting of Xbmc to zero state and a warning message follows that indicate all setting is about to be reset yes or no
Thanks alot

You can already reset the settings, on a per-subject base, in XBMC 13 and higher.
To clear the database: remove your sources, then clean the database.

Indeed. OpenELEC has such an option and it's really nice to have for people who don't know how to manually clear out the files. Some kind of option, an expert-level setting maybe, with appropriate warnings, would be nice to have in Kodi for all platforms. This would be nice for testing, uninstalling, or for when people are not sure what else to do and want a nuclear option :)

It's a very useful idea. maybe with also a bunch of options grouped under the same menu:
Clear video database
clear music databaase
clear addons
clear settings
clear cache
clear all

Selectively clearing the video and music DBs is actually not a bad idea. Not sure on the rest.

As part of
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2036219 I agree that a general factory type reset should exist, not just for the options but for all userdata, essentially just rename the userdata (make a backup) and restart kodi. You dont need a ton of options no matter how much granular control would be ideal for many reasons.
