May I make a gentle suggestion, keeping in mind I am not at all an administrator or moderator here, so take it for what it is...
But personally, I would prefer that some care be taken with language used in posts. Particularly the subject of a post. I mean, a word buried in a long post is one thing... but when a subject and the single sentence of a post both contain the same word that many would find rather objectionable... I dunno.
That said; To wipe your server, shut it down, then look in the /data directory. You can selectively delete files there to 'wipe' the server. For example, deleting items.txt will delete ALL the items out in the world (that is, items on the ground, items inside containers that are on the ground, and items in houses/buildings and such)
Note also that the .txt files are the save files. The .bak files are backups of the previous save file. So if something's ever wrong with your current save file, you could change the .bak file's name.
A quick rundown of what is in each save file (and, therefore, what would be wiped out if you delete the file):
accounts.txt: Has your shard's accounts in it. Delete this, and your shard has no accounts!
datastore.txt: This is a specialized save file that stores information about what 'DataFiles' you use, with the datafile.em module. If you don't understand what that is, don't touch this file!
guilds.txt: Stores the player guilds. If you delete this, no one will be in guilds any more. If you do a pc wipe, you should also delete this (otherwise you'd have invalid guilds with no members)
items.txt: mentioned above; This contains all the items that are 'out in the world', and the items inside those items. Wiping this will clear the 'items' from your whole world. This includes all the 'parts' of multi houses, but not the multi houses themselves (that is; house signs and doors ARE included in this file). Stuff in NPC/PC equipment and backpacks, and in bank boxes are also NOT included in this file.
multis.txt: This contains the multi houses in your world, but NOT the house sign, doors and other such parts; Just the main, solid, one-piece building itself. Generally speaking, if you delete one of multis or items, you should probably delete the other, as well.
npcequip.txt: This contains all the items equipped on and in the backpacks of all NPCs in the world. Deleting this file will leave all your NPCs naked and with nothing in their backpacks. See below for other things on the NPC that are not included in this file. In reality, it should not matter: If you delete one, you need to delete the other. (npcequip and npcs)
npcs.txt: This contains your NPCs themselves, plus their backpack and hair. All other equipment and things carried will be in the file above; npcequip. As noted in the above, if you delete one, you should delete the other as well.
objects.txt: I haven't the slightest clue what this file is for! Mine is empty.
pcequip.txt: Same as the npcequip file, but with the items for PCs. Delete this and the below to wipe all your PCs.
pcs.txt: Same as the npcs file, but contains PCs. Delete this and the above to wipe all your PCs.
permitems.txt: Was never implemented, and does not exist in new 097 versions. Just leave it alone
pol.txt: Contains global information, such as important world state information, and all Global Properties. Selective deleting from this file may be needed, depending on your scripts, to do a world wipe. You should probably leave the 'System' entry alone unless you really know what you are doing. The GlobalProperties section can be cleared if you know you want to wipe ALL Global Properties.
resource.txt: Stores information about harvestable resources. You can leave it alone.
storage.txt: Contains player bank boxes, vendor buy/sell bags, and anything else put in a storage area and, of course, all the items inside those containers.
