How to Delete a World Safely Without Losing It Forever

Deleting Your World

When you decide that you no longer want to keep a specific world save in your singleplayer list, you can remove it using the updated deletion screen provided by the mod. Navigate to the main world selection menu where all your saved games are listed. Locate the world you wish to get rid of, select it, and choose the option to delete it.

Instead of completely erasing the world from your hard drive, the mod changes how this action works. It presents a clear confirmation screen that lets you know whether your operating system supports trash-based deletion. Proceed through this screen to execute the deletion. Rather than wiping out your important worlds by mistake, the mod safely moves the deleted world files straight to your computer recycle bin or desktop trash folder. This protects your builds and hard work from accidental clicks on the world selection menu, giving you peace of mind whenever you clean up your saved games list.
