When you call DataStoreService:GetDataStore(name)

Change the name to something else
For example:
DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Development") →
DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Production")

so would i change this:

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore("PlayerStats")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats= Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name= ("leaderstats")
	leaderstats.Parent= player

	local cash= Instance.new("IntValue")
	cash.Name= ("Cash")
	cash.Parent = leaderstats
	cash.Value = 0
	
	local dmg= Instance.new("IntValue")
	dmg.Name= ("Damage")
	dmg.Parent = leaderstats
	dmg.Value = 1
	
	local shard= Instance.new("IntValue")
	shard.Name= ("Shards")
	shard.Parent = leaderstats
	shard.Value = 0
	
	local zone= Instance.new("IntValue")
	zone.Name= ("Zones")
	zone.Parent = leaderstats
	zone.Value = 0
end)

to:

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore("OreSimData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats= Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name= ("leaderstats")
	leaderstats.Parent= player

	local cash= Instance.new("IntValue")
	cash.Name= ("Cash")
	cash.Parent = leaderstats
	cash.Value = 0
	
	local dmg= Instance.new("IntValue")
	dmg.Name= ("Damage")
	dmg.Parent = leaderstats
	dmg.Value = 1
	
	local shard= Instance.new("IntValue")
	shard.Name= ("Shards")
	shard.Parent = leaderstats
	shard.Value = 0
	
	local zone= Instance.new("IntValue")
	zone.Name= ("Zones")
	zone.Parent = leaderstats
	zone.Value = 0
end)

or something along those lines

Yes, that’s correct. You can change "PlayerStats" to something else that hasn’t been used before to change the data.
Basically just change the name of the DataStore DataStore:GetDataStore("...")

Did changing it reset the data how you wanted?

not sure… i dont think so but it could have

If you want to erase all data from a DataBase so you can use the same Database again but fresh and clean, use the pluggin called DataEditor, now when you open and install the plugin, connect to the DataBase you want to erase and enter as a key the userID or whatever you have wrote inside SetAsync() (which is the key). This will work for test versions of games since you give limited access or you do testing yourself with other 2-3 people you know. It won’t fetch you all the users played but you can search them with the key once you are connected to the DataBase.

Here’s a script that erases all data from all DataStores without any plugin and doesn’t require any names.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local allDataStorePages = DataStoreService:ListDataStoresAsync()

while true do
	local currentDataStoresPage = allDataStorePages:GetCurrentPage()

	for _, DataStoreInfo in ipairs(currentDataStoresPage) do
		local dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore(DataStoreInfo.DataStoreName)
		local allKeysPages = dataStore:ListKeysAsync()

		while true do
			local currentKeysPage = allKeysPages:GetCurrentPage()

			for _, Key in pairs(currentKeysPage) do
				dataStore:RemoveAsync(Key.KeyName)
			end

			if allKeysPages.IsFinished then break end

			allKeysPages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
		end
	end

	if allDataStorePages.IsFinished then break end
	allDataStorePages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
	task.wait()
end
