How to Wipe & Reinstall Your SCUM Server
Reset your SCUM server world or perform a full reinstall to start fresh.
Deletes the world and player progress but keeps your server configuration (ServerSettings.ini, Admins.txt).
Create a backup
In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Backups and save your current state.
Stop the server
Stop from Console.
Delete the save data
Click Files in the sidebar, navigate to SCUM/Saved/SaveGames/, and delete all files inside.
Start the server
Start from Console. A fresh world will generate.
SCUM stores player data and world data in the same database. Deleting the save wipes everything — player inventories, bases, vehicles, and world state. There is no way to wipe just the world while keeping player progress without SQL editing.
Removes everything — world, config, admin list — and starts from scratch.
Create a backup
Go to Backups and save everything first.
Stop the server
Stop from Console.
Delete all files
In Files, select all files and delete them.
Reinstall
On the Dashboard, click Reinstall Server. This downloads fresh server files.
Reconfigure
Set up ServerSettings.ini (server name, password, gameplay settings) and Admins.txt (admin SteamIDs). Start the server.
