safe to delete the nagios DB?

We have a test server that is well... sick. The nagios install is a lil beat up. I want to do a fresh start on the server but I don't want to do a fresh install. We also don't wanna do a restore from the main system. Can I just delete the database and config files via filezilla?
Or can someone point me to the command line that will do it?
Thanks guys.

Whatever you decide, don't do that...you will have a completely unusable machine.

Really if your system is, well, sick it would be best to start with a clean server.

What is the machines diagnosis, maybe we can help you get it back in shape...

i am an idiot. I should have just asked for help. I have to boot the machine up and then I'll post the cfg errors.
