Server wipes are inevitable in Escape from Tarkov, but you can manually delete your character and stash and grind from the start whenever you want. If you’re looking to restart your journey in Tarkov but aren’t sure how to reset your account manually, this guide is for you. 

The popular extraction shooter has been in development since 2012 and in beta testing since 2017. While anyone can purchase and play the game as of now, the devs periodically organize server wipes as part of the testing phase, which “serve several purposes.” These wipes automatically reset all your progress to the starting point—barring achievements—so can start again without having to manually delete everything.
