Run

p4 opened

to see all your opened files and run

p4 revert

to revert them.Then run

p4 changes -c your-client-name -s pending

to see all your pending changelists. Since in the first step you reverted all your open files, these changelists will all be empty. Run

p4 change -d change-number

to delete each empty pending changelist.Then you can run

p4 client -d

to delete your client.

For reverting and deleting a pending changelist, I prefer this sequence:

p4 changes -u joe

to list my pending changelists;

p4 revert -c 12345 //...

to revert all files in my pending changelist 12345 (for example);

p4 change -d 12345

to delete the now-empty changelist. HTH.– Jeffro Oct 19 '13 at 16:46

Why it's only 11 clicks in P4V, through an arbitrary sequence of menu items.Right click on the changelist
Delete shelved files
'Yes'
Right click on the changelist
Remove all jobs
Right click on the changelist
Revert files
'Revert'
Right click on the changelist
Delete pending changelist
'Yes'
Let's send Perforce to usability school.

Here is what I did to empty my default change set, which had a lot of files checked out for edit:

p4 opened | sed 's/#.*$//g' |  xargs -iF p4 revert F

This will cut off the comment part from the filename produced by

p4 opened

and pipe the filename to

p4 revert

. After that I had nothing pending and

p4 changes -c my-client-name -s pending

yields nothing. If you have a huge change set this will take a while.

Love this.. Thanks Man!– Atif Mohammed Ameenuddin Feb 11 at 7:49

No need for

xargs

here (and especially no need for the

-i

option, which is unportable and deprecated even on Linux). Use

p4 -x -

instead (see

p4 help usage

). Also, to avoid the wait when you have a huge change set, use the

-k

option to

p4 revert

.– Gareth Rees Mar 31 at 12:41

Here's a scriptable procedure for deleting a Perforce client. Use with care: this deletes all your work in progress on the client!Revert all changed files on this client.

p4 -c $CLIENT revert -k //...

Note the use of the

-k

option, which "marks the file as reverted in server metadata without altering files in the client workspace". Since we are going to delete the client later, we don't care about updating the client workspace. This speeds things up if you have many files open.

Delete all shelved files from pending changes associated with the client.

p4 changes -s shelved -c $CLIENT | cut -d' ' -f2 |while read CHANGE; do p4 shelve -c $CHANGE -d //...; done

If you never use

p4 shelve

you can omit this step.

All pending changes associated with the client are now empty. Delete them.

p4 changes -s pending -c $CLIENT | cut -d' ' -f2 | p4 -b 1 -x - change -d

There are now no pending changes associated with the client. Delete the client.

p4 client -d $CLIENT

(This process ought to be much easier! In particular, there seems no good reason why we have to delete shelved files associated with a client before deleting the client. If you find yourself struggling with this, do contact Perforce support and suggest that it be made simpler.)

I had shelved changes on another host (after switching computers). To be able to do step 2, I had to change the host of the workspace to my current one.– tuner Jul 22 at 16:05

The help suggests that you can use the

-f

option to force the deletion despite the mismatch. (You'll need "admin" permission though.)– Gareth Rees Jul 22 at 16:54

The question was explicitly telling that no admin rights are available. I guess that is the case for most people who do professional work (=being paid for) with perforce.– tuner Jul 23 at 8:08

Awesome! Step 3 didn't work for me. Was getting "Usage: change -d [ -f ] [ -O ] changelist# Missing/wrong number of arguments." Slight modification worked (Mavericks): p4 changes -s pending -c $CLIENT | cut -d' ' -f2 | xargs -n 1 p4 change -d– Moos Sep 4 at 19:55

@Moos: Thanks for spotting my mistake! As an alternative to

xargs

, you can use

-b 1

to batch the arguments to

p4

.– Gareth Rees Sep 4 at 20:17

Wrote this script called p4-delete-client for deleting p4 changelists.Note that it relies on other scripts in the repo.

This just worked for me in P4V for resetting the default changelist:Right click on the default changelist and choose "Edit Pending Changelist 'default'"

Click the button on the bottom right "Save as numbered changelist"

Right click on the new changelist and choose "Delete changelist XXX"

You can also right click on the new changelist to revert the files for whatever you need to do, which is not available as an option on the default changelist.
