Is there a way I can flush my redis db using redis?

I'm looking for something like redis.flushdb() or redis.flushall()

Redis-py actually has this functionality:

import redis
r = redis.Redis()
r.flushdb()

You can try also.

r.execute_command('FLUSHALL ASYNC') # delete keys in background

FLUSHALL ASYNC (Redis 4.0.0 or greater)

Redis is now able to delete keys in the background in a different thread without blocking the server. An ASYNC option was added to FLUSHALL and FLUSHDB in order to let the entire dataset or a single database to be freed asynchronously.

r.flushdb() # Delete all keys of currently selected database instance.
r.flushall() # Delete all keys of entire database.
