# How To Reset Your Squad Server (/docs/squad/reset-server)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

If your Squad server is having issues or you want a fresh start, you can reset it by reinstalling.

> ⚠️ **Warning:** Reinstalling your server deletes **all** files and data including configuration, mods, and admin lists. This cannot be undone. Create a backup first if you want to keep any files.

    Reconfigure Your Server [#4-reconfigure-your-server]

    Once the reinstall finishes, go to **Startup** to set your server name, max players, and other settings before starting the server. You will also need to reconfigure your [admin list](/docs/squad/adding-admins) and [map rotation](/docs/squad/change-map).
