Wiping Conan Exiles Save Data on Servers and Singleplayer

Why You Might Need a Clean Slate

Conan Exiles is built around long worlds packed with mods, custom rules, and a fair amount of grinding. That works great until something breaks, mods stack up, or you just want to scrap the existing world and start fresh. Resetting progress is not always intuitive because save data hides inside specific game folders. Both server admins and solo players can do it once they know where to look, and the HolyHosting panel keeps the server side painless.

Resetting Server Save Files

For a hosted server there are two routes that get you to the same outcome: a one-click option and a manual deletion through FTP. Both methods work, so pick whichever feels easier. Before you start, double-check that you have the right server selected. Wiping the wrong one can take down configs you actually wanted to keep.

Quick One-Click Reset

1. Open your server panel and press Stop. Wait until the server is fully offline.
2. Once it shows as stopped, click the reset option in your panel.

1. In the prompt that pops up, tick Game Saves and confirm the reset.

1. Type "reset" in the confirmation box to authorize the wipe.
2. Open the server console and wait for the completion confirmation.

1. After that message appears, Restart the server from the main panel. A brand new save will generate on boot.

Manual FTP Reset

1. From the server panel, hit Stop and let it shut down completely.
2. With the server offline, open your file manager or connect via FTP.

1. Sign in with your FTP password and move into the ConanSandbox folder.

1. Tick the Saved folder, then click Delete at the top of the page.

1. When the deletion completes, Restart the server. It will rebuild the world on the next launch.

Wiping Singleplayer Progress

Solo saves live on your own machine instead of the server, so the steps shift over to Steam. The flow is short, but you do need to be sure the game is fully closed first, otherwise Windows will refuse to delete locked files.

1. Quit Conan Exiles entirely, then launch Steam.
2. Go to your Library and right-click Conan Exiles.

1. Hover over Manage and choose Browse Local Files.

1. In the file explorer window, open the ConanSandbox folder.

1. Delete the Saved directory to clear your solo progress.

1. Launch the game again and start a new singleplayer world.

Troubleshooting

Old progress keeps loading. If your character or base reappears after a reset, the deletion most likely targeted the wrong files. Confirm you wiped data on the correct server, and make sure the server (or the game) was fully offline when you ran the steps. If the folders refused to delete because a process held them open, run the cleanup again with administrator permissions on your PC, or use a standalone FTP client for the server.

The Saved folder is missing. No Saved folder usually means no save exists yet, either because it was deleted earlier or never wrote to disk. In that case just launch the game or server and a fresh world will generate. If a save is clearly active in-game but the folder seems gone, switch to the correct server and try the one-click reset instead of the manual route.
