Easiest way:
  • In Everything, search for:
    -" Local Files Index ".
  • Delete any files ending in your instance-name.
  • There should be an .ini and .db file.


A more thorough way:
  • In Windows Explorer, type in the following address and press ENTER:
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
  • Delete the following files:
    Everything- Local Files Index .db
    Everything- Local Files Index .backup.db
  • In Windows Explorer, type in the following address and press ENTER:
    %APPDATA%\Everything
  • Delete the following files:
    Everything- Local Files Index .ini
    Everything- Local Files Index .backup.ini
    Plugins- Local Files Index .ini
    Plugins- Local Files Index .backup.ini
    Session- Local Files Index .json
    Session- Local Files Index .backup.json
    Search History- Local Files Index .csv
    Search History- Local Files Index .backup.csv
    Run History- Local Files Index .csv
    Run History- Local Files Index .backup.csv
    Filters- Local Files Index .csv
    Filters- Local Files Index .backup.csv
    Bookmarks- Local Files Index .csv
    Bookmarks- Local Files Index .backup.csv
