How to modify the dataset

I want to modify the dataset, remove all old data and save a modified version of the data as json. Doing await Dataset.pushData(myModifiedData) will add the data but doesnt remove old data

I tried this

await Dataset.drop()

await Dataset.drop()

but I get TypeError: Dataset.drop is not a function

you can try:

const dataset = await Dataset.open();
await dataset.drop();

const dataset = await Dataset.open();
await dataset.drop();

yeah, you should .drop() a specific instance, so what Honza says. Keep in mind though - that if you do it on the platform - you will delete dataset entirely - so you would need to open another one before pushing data to it. Dataset is read-only/append-only storage

and also keep in mind that the new one will have different id
