Galaxy Wipe (Keep Server Files) [#galaxy-wipe-keep-server-files]

1. Stop your server (use `/save` then `/stop` if possible)
2. In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), click **Files**
3. Navigate to your galaxy folder
4. Delete all contents (or the entire galaxy folder)
5. Start the server — a new galaxy generates with the current seed

New Galaxy (Keep Old Save) [#new-galaxy-keep-old-save]

Change `--galaxy-name` in **Startup** to a new name. The old galaxy remains on disk.

Full Server Reinstall [#full-server-reinstall]

1. Stop the server
2. Delete all files via **Files**
3. On the **Dashboard**, click **Reinstall Server**

> ⚠️ **Warning:** Back up your galaxy folder before wiping. Avorion backups are stored hourly if `backups = true` in server.ini.
