# SynchronizeClearDatastore

The `SynchronizeClearDatastore` parameter specifies whether datastore (`.db`) files are deleted before the connector runs a synchronize action. When the connector retrieves files from a repository, it saves information about the files it has extracted to a datastore file, so that it does not need to retrieve the same information again.

If you set this parameter to `true`, the datastore file is deleted. The connector therefore retrieves all files, regardless of whether they have changed or been retrieved before. You can use this parameter when testing a connector.
