Create a new List with the same characteristics. *That* will have the ID set at 0.P.S. To do this Save List as Template (for your original list - without clicking on "with content". Then create the new list from that template.

This does not always work any workflows linked to the list will be broken, etc. This is a obvious problem SharePoint Techie

I am currently looking for a solution to this because I am using the library with infopath forms and nintex workflow and need to do comprehensive testing in the library before making live. The problem is I can't create a new library without making several changes to the form and the workflow (more testing required) so is there any way to simply reset the IDs?
