Hi Saagar,

A developer account is a standalone edition of Salesforce which is not tied up with any other orgs. Hence it is not possible to reset/refresh this. The only way is to manually delete all the customizations or create a new developer account.

Hope it helps 🙂

I don't believe so. There is an idea you can up-vote here:

But you can just create a new Dev Account and walk away from the old org. SFDC will reclaim it after x months of non use.

Hi,

I did one trick to reset my free developer acc as I have 2 free developer account, in which one is fresh copy and another is fully loaded with metadata.
I deployed fresh copy from eclipse/force.com ide to fully loaded metadata instance, as a result, all the metadata is deleted from my other instance & now it has no classes, pages, triggers etc..

But to deploy fresh copy to any other instance, we must required single file in fresh copy instance.

Hope this helps you.
