How to Reset a Dedicated Server?

I run a headless dedicated server off of a spare laptop that I have. We want to reset the world but I am unable too.

I have gone into AppData --> LocalLow --> IronGate --> Valheim --> Worlds --> and delete all the worlds but when I launch the server back up its the same world. I've tried changing the world name password, etc. but it doesn't change a thing.

I've even gone as far as uninstalling the dedicated server and valheim from my laptop to get a new world but that has not worked either.

I thought about changing the seed but I'm not sure how to do that either as it might change the world / reset it.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does this work for headless servers too?

Yes should work fine, just make sure your .bat file or startup file for the game references the new world file.
world files are generally saved in "C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds"
