# Reset a Bedrock world

> Generate a fresh Minecraft Bedrock Edition world on Purpify without resetting the complete server installation.

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`.

<Warning>
  Resetting or deleting a world removes its builds, inventories, player locations, and world-specific data from active use. Download an external copy before continuing.
</Warning>

## Create a fresh world with a new name

<Steps>
  <Step title="Back up and stop the server">
    Create a [backup](/server/backups), download the current world if you need an external copy, then stop the server.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open server.properties">
    Open the file manager and select `server.properties`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a new level name">
    Change `level-name` to a folder name that does not already exist in `worlds`.

    ```properties theme={"dark"}
    level-name=Fresh Bedrock World
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and start">
    Save the file and start the server. Bedrock creates a new world using the new folder name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the result">
    Join the server and confirm that fresh terrain loaded. Keep the old world folder until you know the new world works.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Delete and regenerate the selected world

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm the active world">
    Open `server.properties` and note the exact `level-name` value.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Stop and download">
    Stop the server and download the matching folder from `worlds` if you may need it later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete the world folder">
    Open `worlds`, select the folder matching `level-name`, and delete it. Do not delete a different world.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the server">
    Start the server. Bedrock generates a new world under the configured `level-name`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  To erase the world, add-ons, configuration, and complete installation together, follow [Completely reset a Bedrock server](/bedrock/reset-server).
