# Rust: how to wipe your server

https://yn-hosting.com/knowledgebase/article/rust-how-to-wipe-your-server

A wipe gives everyone a fresh start. There are two common types.

**Map wipe** (new map, players keep blueprints):

1. **Stop** the server.
2. Open **Files** → `/server/rust/` and delete the files that start with `proceduralmap` (the `.map`, `.sav` and related saves).
3. **Start** the server — it generates a fresh map.

**Full wipe** (also clears blueprints): additionally delete the `player.blueprints.*.db` file before starting. To force a brand-new map, change the **World Seed** or **World Size** on the Startup page.

Tip: set a **Schedule** to automate wipes on your preferred day.
