The OS Reinstallation feature allows you to install a fresh operating system on your VPS, completely replacing the current one. This is useful when starting over or switching to a different Linux distribution.
Warning: This operation will permanently erase all data on your server and cannot be undone. Make sure you have backups of your data before proceeding.
