To delete a player's data on your Palworld game server, you would need to delete their respective save files in the game folder. This guide will tell you exactly how to identify each player's save file and how to navigate the deletion of said files to reset their player data.
1. First and foremost, access the Game Panel (click this link for easy access) and navigate to your Palworld server.
7. You can use either File Manager or FTP (follow this guide for FTP setup) for this next step.
Run the server by pressing the "Start" button.
2. Start your Palworld game and connect to your server.
3. Once you're in, make yourself an admin by running the
/AdminPassword command.4. Next, run the
/ShowPlayers command. This will output all the players' information, namely their names, playerIDs, and SteamIDs in that order. Note the playerID of the player you want to reset their player data of. In this example, it's 1027631338.5. Following that, you need to convert the playerID you noted into a Hexadecimal using this website, Hexadecimal Converter. Just input the playerID, press Convert, and it will give you its Hexadecimal value. Make sure to note this text.
6. Go back to the Game Panel (click this link for easy access) and navigate to your Palworld server again.
Make sure the server is not running, by pressing the "Stop" button.
For this tutorial, we'll be showing the File Manager view.
Navigate to the folder
/Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/WorldFolder/Players.
Inside this
/Players folder, you will see all the player files with Hexadecimal file names. Locate the one you want to delete. In this case, it's 3D4068EA. Right click then press "Delete". You can also download the file first to keep a backup.
8. Go back to your Game Panel (click this link for easy access) and click on the "Start" button to start the server.
