Data sample warning?

SOLVED

Data sample warning?

I think I just read in the documentation that we shouldn't work in a magento 2 that has sample data installed.here:

http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/install/sample-data.html 

 

Am new into the magento 2, I Installed magento 2 with sample data, created all my categories, added some products, logo etc so what should I do now? what is the deal with the sample data? Do I have to delete the installation and start again from scratch?

Re: Data sample warning?

@starlyns Magento 2 sampledata used for only demo store. If you want to practice or check demo you have to useful sampledata.

 

If you work for new ecommerce site customization you need to work in blank setup of magento without using sampledata.

 

If you want to remove sampledata from your system, you just need to run command,

 

php bin/magento sampledata:remove

But above command does not remove sample data from the database.

 

You can refer link, http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/install/sample-data-other-cmds.html

 

But My advice is to Create new fresh setup of latest magento 2 for your work and start work inside it.
