How to reset player data for Palworld

Resetting player data removes individual character progress from the Palworld server without wiping the full world. Use this only when a player is stuck, corrupted, or needs to start again while the world stays in place.

Take a backup first. Player data deletion is difficult to undo without restoring from backup.

1. Take a backup: How to Backup your Palworld Server.
2. Stop the server.
3. Open File Manager.

   

4. Open Pal, then Saved, then SaveGames.

   

5. Open the save folder for the active world. In many Palworld saves this is inside the numbered folder shown in SaveGames.
6. Find the affected player file. The exact file name depends on the player identifier stored by Palworld.
7. Delete only the affected player file, then start the server.
8. Ask the player to join and test.

If you are not sure which file belongs to the player, do not guess. submit a support ticket with the player name, SteamID if known, and the reason for the reset.
