## v2.0.0-alpha.5 [2019-03-08]

{{% warn %}}
This release includes a breaking change to the format in which Time-Structured Merge Tree (TSM) and index data are stored on disk.
_**Existing local data will not be queryable after upgrading to this release.**_

Prior to installing this release, remove all storage-engine data from your local InfluxDB 2.x installation.
To remove only TSM and index data and preserve all other other InfluxDB 2.x data (organizations, buckets, settings, etc),
run the following command.

###### Linux and macOS
```sh
rm -r ~/.influxdbv2/engine
```

Once completed, InfluxDB v2.0.0-alpha.5 can be started.
