Published 9 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Reinstalling wipes all server files and downloads a fresh default setup. Use this to recover from a broken installation or start clean.

Before you start: Reinstalling deletes all server files except backups. Download anything you want to keep via FTP before proceeding. See How to Use an FTP Client with Your Unturned Server.
