# How to Reset the World on Your Project Zomboid Server (/docs/project-zomboid/world-reset)



Delete map data from the save folder while keeping `players.db` to preserve characters.

**Full world wipe**: Delete the save folder from `Zomboid/Saves/Multiplayer/[servername]/`

**Keep players**: Only delete map chunk files, keep `players.db`

Also see [Soft Reset](/docs/project-zomboid/soft-reset) for a less destructive option.
