# Resetting Your 7 Days to Die World

Guide on how to reset your 7D2D sever

There may come a time when you want to start fresh in **7 Days to Die** - maybe you don’t like your spawn location or just want a brand new challenge.

With **ChipHead**, resetting your server world is simple. You can either delete your current world completely or create a new one while keeping the old world saved in case you’d like to revisit it later.

> **Warning:** **Important**: Once you delete your world, it’s gone for good - all progress will be permanently lost. To stay safe, always create a backup of your world through the ChipHead Panel before making any major changes.

## Changing Your Server World
