How to Delete a Player From Your 7 Days to Die Server

Occasionally you may need to delete a player’s data to resolve glitches or allow them a fresh start. Removing a player does not ban them; it simply wipes their progress so they re‑enter the world as if new. This guide shows how to safely delete a player’s data using Wabbanode’s control panel tools.

Overview

Player data in 7 Days to Die is stored within your world save. Each profile consists of a .ttp file (player data), a .map file (explored map) and an entry in players.xml. Deleting these entries forces the game to create a new profile the next time that person joins.

Deleting a Player’s Data

1. Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.
2. Open the Files tab and browse to the Saves directory. It is typically located under Saves/ followed by the game version and world name.
3. Inside the save folder, open the Players subdirectory. Locate the files associated with the player you wish to remove. These filenames usually include their EOS or Steam ID, such as 76561198000000000.ttp and 76561198000000000.map.
4. Select the player’s .ttp and .map files and delete them using the Delete button. Confirm the deletion when prompted.
5. Navigate back to the world save folder and open players.xml. Use the built‑in editor to locate the line containing the player’s ID and username, then remove that entire line. Save the file.
6. Start your server. The player can now rejoin and will spawn as a new character with no previous progress.
