How to find and clear the SQLite db file in Android (emulator)

  1. Open Simulator
  2. Click MENU
  3. Click Manage Apps
  4. Locate your app
  5. Click Clear data or Uninstall

1)Its actually stored in the emulator, If you are using Eclipse then You just go to DDMS and find your database file in the data packages and then in the left there is an option to pull the file out and you can view it. you can use wipe user data on emulator load to clear all data.Or you may uninstall the application by using:

C:\> adb -e uninstall com.example.package

or, if your application is on a physical phone, use:

C:\> adb -d uninstall com.example.package

You can run the command:

adb -s emulator-5554 shell (or whatever port you use)
cd /data/data/<packagename>/databases/

By typing ls, you will see the databases created and you can remove the one you want with rm

rm myapp.db

It's stored inside the emulator, not on your machine (at least, not in a place that is easily accessible). Just remove it using adb:

C:\> adb -e shell rm /data/data/com.example.package/databases/*.db

You can also choose the "Wipe user data" option when launching the emulator AVD, or you can uninstall the application to wipe all data for just that one app:

C:\> adb -e uninstall com.example.package

Finally, you can also just clear user data for a given application without uninstalling it, by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications... Select your application, then click the "Clear Data" button.
