🔍 Code Extractor

Clears all document references from the reMarkable Cloud root.docSchema, making the cloud interface appear completely empty while preserving the actual documents.

Purpose

This function provides a complete reset of the visible reMarkable Cloud document structure by removing all document references from the root.docSchema. It's designed for scenarios where users want to clear their cloud interface without permanently deleting documents. The function includes safety warnings, progress feedback, and verification of the clearing operation. It's particularly useful for troubleshooting, testing, or reorganizing cloud storage.

Source Code

def main():
    """Clear the root.docSchema completely"""
    try:
        cleaner = RootCleaner()
        
        print(f"🧹 Clearing reMarkable Cloud Root DocSchema")
        print("=" * 60)
        print(f"⚠️ This will remove ALL document references from root.docSchema")
        print(f"⚠️ Documents will still exist but won't be visible in the cloud")
        print(f"⚠️ The cloud will appear completely empty")
        print("=" * 60)
        
        success = cleaner.clear_root_completely()
        
        if success:
            print(f"\n✅ Root clearing completed successfully!")
            print(f"🎉 Your reMarkable cloud should now appear completely empty!")
            print(f"💡 All documents have been removed from the visible cloud interface")
        else:
            print(f"\n❌ Root clearing failed or verification incomplete")
        
        return success
        
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"❌ Failed to initialize root cleaner: {e}")
        return False

Return Value

Returns a boolean value: True if the root clearing operation completed successfully and passed verification, False if the operation failed, verification was incomplete, or an exception occurred during initialization.

    if success:
        print('Cloud cleared successfully')
    else:
        print('Failed to clear cloud')

else:
    # Handle failure
    pass

Best Practices

• This is a destructive operation - ensure users understand that all document references will be removed from the visible cloud interface
• Always run this function with user confirmation as it affects cloud visibility of all documents
• The function includes built-in warnings and confirmation messages - do not suppress these in production
• Check the return value to verify successful completion before proceeding with dependent operations
• Consider backing up the root.docSchema before running this operation
• This operation requires valid authentication - ensure credentials are properly configured before calling
• The function is designed to be idempotent - running it multiple times should be safe
• Monitor network connectivity as this operation communicates with reMarkable Cloud services
• Documents are not permanently deleted, only their references in root.docSchema are removed
