How Can I Totally Reset iPhoto?

I would like to totally reset iPhoto so that I can start over with importing all my photos. What is the "correct" way to delete everything in the program and start from scratch? Thank you!

MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums

Quit iPhoto, Delete your iPhoto Preferences ("your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.Apple.iPhoto.plist) and delete the iPhoto library from the pictures folder (this will delete all photos, albums, etc) and launch iPhoto - it will create a new empty library and a default preference file.

You are now ready to start over from zero
