# Completely reset a Bedrock server

> Erase a Purpify Minecraft Bedrock Edition server installation and start again from the game panel.

Use **Reset** in the server's **Settings** to erase the current installation and return the Bedrock server to a fresh state.

<Warning>
  A complete reset removes the current world, player data, add-ons, and configuration from the server. Download anything you want to keep before continuing.
</Warning>

## Before you reset

* Confirm that you selected the correct Purpify server.
* Download the current world and any configuration or add-on files you want to retain.
* Create a [server backup](/server/backups) and keep an external copy of important data.
* Tell connected players that the server will be reset.

## Reset the server

<Steps>
  <Step title="Stop the server">
    Stop the server and wait until the console confirms that the process has ended.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Settings">
    Open the server in the Purpify game panel and go to **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Reset">
    Find the reset section and select **Reset**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the warning">
    Read the displayed reset warning and confirm only if you no longer need the current server data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the fresh server">
    Wait for the reset to finish, then start the server. Watch the console and confirm that a new Bedrock world loads.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If you only want a different world, follow [Upload an existing world](/server/upload-world) instead of resetting the complete server.
