  1. 1Stop the server.
  2. 2Take a backup first, even on a deliberate wipe — you will want it if the new configuration misbehaves.
  3. 3Delete the storage_1 folder inside your mission to clear buildings and vehicles.
  4. 4Delete players.db in the same folder to reset characters.
  5. 5Start the server. It rebuilds both on first boot.
