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

      <Step>
        Click **Startup** and change the **MAP NAME** to a new name that doesn't exist yet.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Start from **Console** — a brand new world generates. The old world is preserved on disk.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    > Switch back by reverting the name to the original.
  </Tab>

  <Tab value="Full Reinstall">
    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Stop the server.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Files** and delete **all folders and files**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        On the **Dashboard**, click **Reinstall Server**. Wait for installation.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    > A full reinstall erases everything. Back up anything you want to keep via **Files** first.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

> **Tip:** If you're having issues, try changing the world name first before doing a full reinstall. Many problems are world-specific.
