How to Wipe & Reinstall Your CS:GO Server

How to reset your CS:GO dedicated server — config reset, full reinstall, and what's preserved.

Full Server Reinstall

Stop the server

In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and click Stop.

Delete all files

Click Files in the sidebar. Select all files and delete them.

⚠️ Back up first! Download csgo/cfg/server.cfg and the csgo/addons/ folder (SourceMod plugins) if you want to keep them.

Reinstall

On the Dashboard, scroll to the Reinstall Server widget and click Reinstall. Wait for the installation to complete.

Reconfigure

After reinstall, you'll need to re-add your GSLT, server name, and any plugins. See Server Configuration.

Config-Only Reset

If you just want to reset settings without reinstalling everything:

  1. In Files, delete csgo/cfg/server.cfg
  2. Restart the server — it starts with default settings

Your maps, plugins, and other files remain intact.
