There are several levels of reset — from wiping just the world to a complete reinstall.

World-Only Wipe (Keep Settings & Mods) [#world-only-wipe-keep-settings--mods]

Resets the world to a fresh state while keeping your `serverconfig.xml` and `Mods` folder.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Stop your server from **Console** in the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Files** in the sidebar. Navigate to `Saves/<WorldType>/<WorldName>/<GameName>/` and delete the **GameName** folder.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Start the server — a fresh save generates on the same map.
  </Step>
</Steps>

> 📝 **Note:** The world terrain stays the same. Only player progress, buildings, and loot are reset.

Full World Regeneration (New Map) [#full-world-regeneration-new-map]

Generate a completely new random map:

1. Stop your server
2. Delete the save folder as above
3. Also delete the generated world folder from `GeneratedWorlds/` or `Data/Worlds/`
4. Change `WorldGenSeed` in `serverconfig.xml` to a new value
5. Start the server — a brand new world generates

Quick Method: Change GameName [#quick-method-change-gamename]

Simply changing the `GameName` in `serverconfig.xml` creates a new save without deleting the old one:

```xml
<property name="GameName" value="Season2" />
```

The old save remains on disk and you can switch back by reverting the name.

Region-Specific Wipe [#region-specific-wipe]

Reset only part of the map:

1. Navigate to `Saves/.../region/`
2. Delete specific `.rg` region files
3. Those chunks regenerate fresh — the rest of the world is preserved

Player Data Only Wipe [#player-data-only-wipe]

Reset player progress without touching the world:

1. Navigate to `Saves/.../<GameName>/Player/`
2. Delete specific `.ttp` files to reset individual players
3. Delete all `.ttp` files to reset everyone

Full Server Reinstall [#full-server-reinstall]

Nuclear option — wipes everything including server files:

1. Stop the server
2. In **Files**, delete all folders and files
3. On the **Dashboard**, click **Reinstall Server**
4. Wait for installation to complete

> ⚠️ **Warning:** Always back up your save files before any wipe. Download them via the **Files** tab.
