  <Step>
    Reconfigure [#reconfigure]

    After reinstall, you'll need to re-add your GSLT, server name, and any plugins. See [Server Configuration](/docs/counter-strike-go/server-config).
  </Step>
</Steps>

Config-Only Reset [#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.
