You can choose a quick method that keeps the old save on disk, or a full deletion. Player profiles (skills, level, inventory) are stored separately and can be preserved either way. Before wiping, make sure you have [Random World Generation](\u002Fwiki\u002Fgame-servers\u002F7-days-to-die\u002Fsetup-rwg) configured if you want a new procedurally generated map after the reset.\n\n> **Warning:** This is destructive. All world data will be lost. Download any backups you want to keep before proceeding.\n\n> **Before you start:** Stop your server completely before making any file changes.\n\n## Method A: Quick reset by renaming the save\n\nThis is the fastest approach. The old save stays on disk and can be restored later.\n\n1. Log into the [Game Control Panel](https:\u002F\u002Fgamepanel.hosthavoc.com\u002F) and stop your server.\n2. Click **Configuration Files** and open `serverconfigfull.xml` in the **Config Editor**.\n3. Change the **Game Name** value to a new name (for example, change `MyServer` to `MyServer2`).\n4. Click **Save** and start the service. The server generates a fresh world using the existing **Game World** and **World Generation Seed** settings.\n\n> **Tip:** To restore the old world later, change **Game Name** back to the original value and restart.\n\n## Method B: Full deletion\n\nThis permanently removes the save folder from disk.\n\n1. Log into the [Game Control Panel](https:\u002F\u002Fgamepanel.hosthavoc.com\u002F) and stop your server.\n2. Click **File Manager** and navigate to `userdata\u002FSaves\u002F\u003CGame World>\u002F\u003CGame Name>\u002F`.\n3. Delete the entire `\u003CGame Name>` folder. This wipes the world and all player profile files stored in that save.\n4. Start the service. A new save is generated with the same name.\n\n## Preserving player profiles during a full wipe\n\nBefore deleting the save folder in step 3 above, download the `Player\u002F` subfolder from within `\u003CGame Name>\u002F` using File Manager. After the world regenerates, re-upload the `Player\u002F` folder into the new save directory. Players will keep their skill points, levels, and inventories but start in a fresh world.\n\n## Generating a different map layout\n\nFor RWG worlds, change the **World Generation Seed** in `serverconfigfull.xml` before restarting. A new seed produces a completely different map rather than regenerating the same layout.",{"id":133,"article_path":134,"date_created":135,"date_updated":88,"author_name":87,"featured_image":88,"category":136,"subcategory":140,"translations":143},83,"delete-player","2026-06-09T03:14:45.000Z",{"id":72,"kind":90,"slug":88,"game":137,"translations":138},{"path":92,"name":60,"image_cover":93,"image_preview":94,"whmcs_order_url":95,"fullpath":61},[139],{"languages_code":98,"name":60,"description":99},{"id":76,"slug":101,"sort":102,"display_style":103,"translations":141},[142],{"languages_code":98,"name":106},[144],{"languages_code":98,"title":145,"title_short":146,"description":147,"content_md":148},"How to Delete a Player from Your 7 Days to Die Server","Delete Player","Remove a player and their associated data from your 7 Days to Die server by editing the players.xml file and deleting their player files.","Deleting a player removes their data from your server, including their character, inventory, and position.

Start your service.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n- **Server starts but generates a new world instead of loading yours.** Double-check that Game World, Game Name, World Gen Seed, and World Gen Size in `serverconfigfull.xml` match the uploaded files exactly. Any mismatch causes the server to treat the save as new.\n- **Moving from another host.** The file structure is identical: copy `GeneratedWorlds` and `Saves` from the old host's server using FTP and follow the same steps above.",{"data":167},[168],{"cta_url":88,"translations":169},[170],{"languages_code":98,"cta_label":171,"cta_title":172,"cta_body":173},"Rent a 7 Days to Die Server","Need a 7 Days to Die server?","Overhaul mods, random worlds, crossplay.
