# Delete Player Data



# How to delete player data

##### **Where is it stored?**

In the Files Manager, open the world folder (or the folder of your main world). Inside, locate the playerdata folder. Within this folder, you’ll find files named in the format `<uuid>.dat`, where `<uuid>` represents the player's UUID (universally unique id).

##### **Plugin stored data:**

Some plugins store some of the player's data, such as EssentialsX, in this scenario the plugin's data is stored in the following path: `plugins\Essentials\userdata`, so the path would be plugins\\&lt;Plugin Name&gt;\\&lt;data folder/file&gt;

##### **How to recognize a data file/folder?**

Usually local storages use the `.db` file extension, example: `luckperms-h2-v2.mv.db`

In other cases storage files may use the following file extension: `.json | .yml | .conf | .toml` Do note that these are locally stored databases.

For external Databases such as MariaDB/MySQL, delete the database from the panel and create a new one. Ensure sure to reconfigurate the credentials within your plugin's configuration.
