I am trying to implement reset functionality in core data based sample app.

I think that there are two ways to implement reset functionality:

Approach 1: Delete sqlite file and then re-insert data

Approach 2: Retrieve all data in managedObjectContext, delete
retrieved data  and then re-insert data

I tried 'Approach 1' first, here is the code snippet:

@IBAction func resetData(sender: AnyObject) {

        let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate
as AppDelegate

        // delete old db if it exists
        var url =
appDelegate.applicationDocumentsDirectory.URLByAppendingPathComponent("MyApp.sqlite")

        let defaultFileManager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()

        if defaultFileManager.fileExistsAtPath(url.path!) {
            defaultFileManager.removeItemAtURL(url, error: nil)
        }

        let managedObjectContext = appDelegate.managedObjectContext!

        var menuCategory : MenuCategories =
NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName("MenuCategories",
inManagedObjectContext: managedObjectContext) as MenuCategories


        appDelegate.saveContext()
    }

Then I added a break point in appDelegate's managedObjectContext lazy
initialization method, here is the related code snippet:

lazy var managedObjectContext: NSManagedObjectContext? = {

        let coordinator = self.persistentStoreCoordinator
        if coordinator == nil {
            return nil
        }
        var managedObjectContext = NSManagedObjectContext()
        managedObjectContext.persistentStoreCoordinator = coordinator
        return managedObjectContext
    }()

First time when I performed reset action, the program counter (PC)
stopped on the added break point, but next time when I performed reset
action then the PC did not stop on the break point and app crashed for
obvious reasons:

Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4 "The operation couldn’t be
completed. (Cocoa error 4.)" UserInfo=0x78f54ff0
{NSUnderlyingError=0x78f69250 "The operation couldn’t be completed. No
such file or directory"

Now my question is -

Why second time managedObjectContext initialization method was not invoked?

I know that I need to go back and learn Swift basics - the hard way,
perhaps there is some obvious reasons which I am missing, please
suggest.
