Resetting Your 7 Days to Die Server

Caution

This should only be used as a last resort. If you keep having issues, then reach out to us; we're here to help you.

Log in to the GhostCap Panel.
Click on your 7 Days to Die server and stop the server.
In the sidebar, select Advanced > Server Actions > Reinstall Server.
A Reinstall Server? window will open. Enable Backup Before Reinstall and Wipe All Files, then click Yes, Reinstall Server. Here's what each option does:
- Wipe All Files: deletes all existing files before reinstalling, giving you a completely fresh start. This won't touch anything stored in your Backups.
- Backup Before Reinstall: creates a backup before the reinstall runs. We strongly recommend keeping this enabled.
- Start Server after Reinstall: automatically starts your server once the reinstall finishes.
You'll be taken to the console, where you can watch the server reinstall.
