How to wipe the world of your Conan Exiles server

Wiping a Conan Exiles server removes saved world data so the server can generate a fresh world. This can remove player progress, buildings, NPC changes, and other saved data, so take a backup first if there is anything you may need later.

Before wiping the server

  • Tell players that the server will be offline while the wipe runs.
  • Stop the server before deleting or replacing save files.
  • Take a backup or download a copy of the current save files before continuing.

Use the control panel wipe option

  1. Open your Conan Exiles server in the control panel.
  2. Click Wipe Server.
  3. Read the wipe options carefully and select only the data you want to remove.
  4. Confirm the wipe only when you are sure you have a backup.
  5. Click Execute and wait for the task to finish.
  6. Start the server and check that a fresh world loads.

Manually wipe the world save

If you only need to remove the Conan Exiles world save, you can do it from File Manager instead.

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Open File Manager.
  3. Open the /Saved/ folder.
  4. Delete or rename game.db.
  5. Delete game.db-shm and game.db-wal if they are present.
  6. Start the server again. Conan Exiles will create a new save database.

Clean server option

Some Conan Exiles services also show a Clean Server action. Use that only when you understand what it removes from your service. If you are not sure which wipe option to use, submit a support ticket before running it.
