Question - How To Reset Game?

[DHBgithub2021]

Hi. I would like to completely reset the game (empty inventory) and start from the begining with nothing and all character data deleted.

How would I do that? At this point when I delete everything and re-install I still have the previous data and items in the game from last time. I assume there is a directory somewhere that contains this information and I have to get rid of it?

Thank you for any help offered.

Can't you delete your characters from within the game by clicking the delete button?

[DHBgithub2021]

Deleting the characters, and indeed Diablo and all its data as well as a completely new copy of DevilutionX does not get rid of the previous play through.

I'm not sure what you mean by "play through." By my understanding of the term, deleting the character should be pretty definitive. Can you be more specific? What's left over after deleting the character?

[DHBgithub2021]

Well, if you delete your characters you still have all the inventory from the previous playthrough. So you start the new game and the inventory is still there after deletion. Deleting the original Diablo did not work, nor did deleting this mod and then unzipping it for a "fresh" install. The method that did work was deleting the .sv and .hsv files located in %appdata%\diasurgical\devilution, where that data apparently resides. That did the trick, so thank you DakkJaniels and AJenbo.

I think you mean "stash" and not "inventory". The inventory is the "backpack" of the character and will be deleted with it.

You could also just dump whatever is in the stash on the ground, but yes, deleting it is probably faster if you have quite a few pages.
