+
+Use this program as a standalone Java main program::
+ 
+    java -classpath <jar files, including akka-cluster-sharding>
+      akka.cluster.sharding.RemoveInternalClusterShardingData
+        -2.3 entityType1 entityType2 entityType3
+
+The program is included in the ``akka-cluster-sharding`` jar file. It
+is easiest to run it with same classpath and configuration as your ordinary
+application. It can be run from sbt or maven in similar way.
+
+Specify the entity type names (same as you use in the ``start`` method
+of ``ClusterSharding``) as program arguments.
+
+If you specify ``-2.3`` as the first program argument it will also try
+to remove data that was stored by Cluster Sharding in Akka 2.3.x using
+different persistenceId.
