How To Reset Your Project Zomboid Server

This guide covers how to reset your Project Zomboid server to start completely fresh with a new save. This is helpful in case you've made a mistake that cannot be undone.

Resetting Your Server

1. Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your server.

2. In the sidebar, select Advanced > Server Actions > Reinstall Server.

3. 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.

4. You'll be taken to the console, where you can watch the server reinstall.
