Do an ARK server wipe from your control panel: stop the server, press Wipe Server, pick what to wipe, confirm and press Execute. Your server starts over with fresh progress.
A wipe clears the progress on your ARK Survival Evolved server, handy for a new season or a clean start for your tribe.
A wipe can't be undone from the panel. Take a backup first with Backup Server if you might want the old world back.
How to do an ARK server wipe
- Stop your server.
- Press the Wipe Server button.
- Select what you want to wipe.
- Accept the confirmation and press Execute.
(*) Some games don't have Wipe Server button support.
ARK wipe questions
How do I do an ARK server wipe?
Stop your server, press Wipe Server in the GTX control panel, select what you want to wipe, accept the confirmation and press Execute.
Can I get my world back after a wipe?
Only from a backup. If you made one before the wipe, follow How to restore your ARK Survival Evolved server from a backup. GTX keeps offsite backups for up to 6 months, so a support ticket can also help.
How do I reset my whole ARK server to default?
A full reset reinstalls the server files as well: see How to reinstall your ARK Survival Evolved server back to default.
Want your own ARK server? See ARK: Survival Evolved server hosting.
