How To Reset Your Black Mesa Server

Here is how to reset your Black Mesa server and start completely fresh. This deletes all your files, configs, maps and plugins.

Caution

This should only be used as a last resort. If you keep having issues, reach out to a bro. We're here to help you.

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings and click Reinstall in the top-right.
  3. 3
    Select Format and reset, then confirm and wait for the install to finish.

The reinstall downloads the whole Black Mesa server again, about 30 GB, so it takes a while.
