Reset only the active world when you want fresh terrain but want to keep the server installation and its other configuration. The safest method is to give the new world a different level-name.
Resetting or deleting a world removes its builds, inventories, player locations, and world-specific data from active use. Download an external copy before continuing.

​
Create a fresh world with a new name

1

Back up and stop the server

Create a backup, download the current world if you need an external copy, then stop the server.
2

Open server.properties

Open the file manager and select server.properties.
3

Set a new level name

Change level-name to a folder name that does not already exist in worlds.
4

Save and start

Save the file and start the server. Bedrock creates a new world using the new folder name.
5

Verify the result

Join the server and confirm that fresh terrain loaded. Keep the old world folder until you know the new world works.

​
Delete and regenerate the selected world

Use this method only when you no longer need the current world folder.
1

Confirm the active world

Open server.properties and note the exact level-name value.
2

Stop and download

Stop the server and download the matching folder from worlds if you may need it later.
3

Delete the world folder

Open worlds, select the folder matching level-name, and delete it. Do not delete a different world.
4

Start the server

Start the server. Bedrock generates a new world under the configured level-name.
To erase the world, add-ons, configuration, and complete installation together, follow Completely reset a Bedrock server.

Upload an existing world

Replace the active world with one you already have.

Server properties

Review the settings stored in server.properties.
