How to Completely Reset Your Server
To get a completely clean slate, we need to clear out the old files first and then run a fresh installation.
- Log into your MintServers game panel and click the Stop button. Always make sure your server is completely offline before modifying or deleting files.
- On the left-hand sidepanel, click on Files to open your file manager.
- Select all the files and folders in your main directory. You can easily do this by checking the master box at the very top of the file list.
- Click Delete and confirm that you want to wipe the files.
- Now that your file manager is empty, navigate to the Settings tab on the left sidepanel.
- Click on the Reinstall Server button. Confirm the prompt to begin the process.
- Wait for the installation to finish. This might take a few minutes as it downloads fresh Project Zomboid files directly to your server.
- Once it finishes, head back to your console and click Start. Your fresh new world will begin generating!
