How to Perform a True Reset in Undertale

1
Open your File Explorer and go to "This PC".
- This PC may be under a different name such as, My Computer or just Computer.
- It may be under a different name entirely if you or someone else who used the computer renamed it.

Go to the "C Drive" or (C:).^{[1]

- This again could be under a different name such as OS (C:), Local Disc (C:), System (C:), or Windows (C:).
- If it is under a different name you will know you're in the right place because it has (C:) after the name.

Go to the User you are currently on. This could be any number of things because it is customizable. But it is the name that you set as the User.^{[2]

- If unknown, press the Windows key and R at the same time. Then a window will pop up and say Open. If it is not already in the blank next to where it says open, type cmd or cmd.exe then click OK. Then another window will pop up with lots of text. Simply type in WHOAMI (no spaces) and this will show which user you are currently logged in as.
This will be near the top of the list.^{[3]

Question

Why can't I select it from the menu?

On the menu, it doesn't let you change your name; it keeps your name but resets only your progress. A true reset resets the whole game - name and everything.

Be mysterious, yet have great charisma. Make yourself appear to have great power, yet don't show it unless it is necessary.

Question

I can't find the AppData. I'm on a Windows, it isn't under the user, and I've checked every other user.

In your User's folder, look at the View tab of your Windows Explorer. At the "Show/hide" section, make sure the "Hidden Items" checkbox isn't ticked. If this still doesn't work, follow these steps: 1) Open "Command Prompt". 2) Enter the string of text below: attrib -s -h C:\Users\myusername\AppData The command above would remove any attributes set on this folder that could hide the folder.

Tips

Once you have gotten to this location, it is advisable to keep a shortcut on your desktop because it is quite tedious to navigate back every time you need to access your save file.

If a new player is going to play the game on your computer, you might want to move your save file to keep the experience as unmodified as possible.
