Softaculous seems to always adds junk to the installs I don't want. Such as example posts, pages, plugins, and starter themes. How do I remove them all for a fresh start?

• linux
• command-line
• php

• Or... Don't use Softaculous :) – RiddleMeThis Commented Feb 12, 2020 at 21:52

I'd love any improvements, or hopefully this helps someone.

wp post delete $(wp post list --post_type='post' --format=ids);wp post delete $(wp post list --post_type='page' --format=ids);wp plugin delete --all;wp theme delete $(wp theme list --status=inactive --field=name);wp widget delete $(wp widget list sidebar-1 --fields=id);wp widget delete $(wp widget list sidebar-2 --fields=id)

edit: added removal of default widgets in sidebar, all seems to work now!
