How to Wipe and Reinstall Your Icarus Server

Reset prospect data or do a full reinstall of your Icarus dedicated server.

Delete individual prospects without touching the server installation.

Warning: Do NOT rename prospect files — this causes unrecoverable corruption per the official documentation.

Stop the server

In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Console and stop the server.

Delete prospect files

Click Files in the sidebar and navigate to Icarus/Saved/PlayerData/DedicatedServer/Prospects/. Delete the .json files for the prospects you want to remove, or delete all files for a full prospect wipe.

Start the server

Start from Console. The server launches into the lobby with no active prospects.

Erase everything and start from scratch.

Back up what you need

Download any prospect files or config you want to keep from Files.

Delete all files

In Files, select all and delete.

Reinstall

On the Dashboard, click Reinstall Server. This downloads a fresh copy.

Reconfigure

Re-apply your settings in ServerSettings.ini and the -SteamServerName startup parameter. Start the server.
