Delete or reset volume of a container

So I faced with a sitioation that I updated postgres version in my docker compose file. This will make older data incompatible with new one. I dont care, and I simply want to push changes and get update on my deployment. Is there a way to "reset" volume for some service in the docker compose stack in the UI?

If your file looked like

services:
  something:
    ...
volumes:
  data:

services:
  something:
    ...
volumes:
  data:

You can just change it to

services:
  something:
    ...
volumes:
  pg-data-or-something-else:

services:
  something:
    ...
volumes:
  pg-data-or-something-else:

If you have daily cleanup on, the ~~last~~ old one will be gone tomorrow. You can also click the Clean unused volumes on the Web server tab.

Thanks! but in my scenario I use github repo that I don't change, only pull. Looks like only option is to clean it manually

Yup. The only way then is to nuke the entire volume's content.
