How to Wipe Your Server
Whether you want a fresh start or just a building cleanup, here are the methods to wipe your Conan Exiles server.
Option 1: The Full Wipe (Fresh Start)
This deletes everything: characters, leveled pets, buildings, and clans.
- Stop the server completely.
- Navigate to:
ConanSandbox/Saved/. - Delete the main database:
game.db. - Crucial: Also delete any backup files like
game_backup_1.db, otherwise the server may try to restore them. - Start the server to generate a fresh world.
Option 2: Partial Wipe (Buildings Only)
If you want to keep character levels but remove all buildings (great for seasonal refreshes), use the built-in cleanup tool.
- Stop the server.
- Run the file:
ConanSandbox/ServerCleanup.bat(Windows) or use the-cleanupcommand line argument. - Follow the prompts to delete non-essential data while preserving characters.
What About Mods?
Some mods (like Pippi or DungeonMaster) store data in separate .db files within the Saved folder. Delete those too if you want a truly 100% clean slate.
