 * Greetings and thanks for your time!
 * I have installed wordpress on my localhost xampp web server for local development.
   I also loaded some sample content to the DB (a number of posts, comments, etc.)
   just to get more familiar with wordpress. I would like to remove this content
   from the DB without removing my plugins/widgets/configuration settings. I have
   also worked on a custom theme that I want to keep as well. My goal is to finish
   development of this wordpress site on my local computer and then export/import
   it to my external web hosting provider.
 * Is there a fast/easy way to remove all posts/comments/etc. from a wordpress DB?
   I am not very familiar with mySQL, any details you can provide would be most 
   helpful.
 * I also found the WordPress Reset plugin, but I’m concerned that using this might
   remove everything including my plugins and configuration settings.
