Rootfs full

Hello, 

I have installed trasmission on this drive and i tried downloading a torrend (about 5 gb in size). 

After 5 % transmission stopped because it did not had enough free space to download. 

It seems that the file was downloaded somwhere in rootfs because now by running df -h this is what i get:

wdcloud:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 1.9G 1.8G 18M 100% /
/dev/root 1.9G 1.8G 18M 100% /
tmpfs 23M 368K 23M 2% /run
tmpfs 40M 4.0K 40M 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/shm
tmpfs 100M 188K 100M 1% /tmp
/dev/root 1.9G 1.8G 18M 100% /var/log.hdd
ramlog-tmpfs 20M 1.6M 19M 8% /var/log
/dev/sda4 1.8T 196M 1.8T 1% /DataVolume
/dev/sda4 1.8T 196M 1.8T 1% /CacheVolume
/dev/sda4 1.8T 196M 1.8T 1% /shares
/dev/sda4 1.8T 196M 1.8T 1% /nfs/Public

I uninstalled Transmission and got 18 mb free now, but how can i completely clean the rootfs partition ? 

Is there any way i can reset the drive completely, so i can start from scratch ? I want to rebuild the default partition map and erase everything.

Is it possible to delete the downloaded file ? I cannot find it in rootfs anywhere.

Thanks

Power the box down.

Hold the reset button in while plugging the power supply in.

Continue holding the reset button for 40 seconds.

Release the button and wait quite a while.

I did that, and now the led is purple. How much do i need to wait ?

Thanks for your help

L.E. Now the led is blue but i cannot connect to it

Maybe you can try to install the firmware upgrade file from wd.

At least it contains a rootfs image.
