Hi,

Assuming you did a setup.py install (ie weewx is located in /home/weewx) and are using SQLite:

stop weewx
remove all data in the database by deleting the file weewx.sdb from the folder /home/weewx/archive
to delete all of the weewx generated content (ie plots, html pages and NOAA fomatted reports) delete all of the folders/files in /home/weewx/public_html (if really do just want to delete the plots then only delete the image files (likely .png files))

For a deb or rpm package install you delete the same files/folders, it's just they are in different folders. If you did a deb package install then weewx.sdb will be in /var/lib/weewx and generated content will be in /var/www/weewx. For an rpm package install the generated content is in /var/www/html/weewx.

If you are using MySQL in lieu of SQLite then I assume you will be competent enough to drop your database :)
