It’s not possible to truly "restart" your existing Clash of Clans village from scratch without completely deleting it or starting a new game on a different account. However, you can effectively get a fresh start by creating a new Clash of Clans account, often linked to a different Supercell ID or even by clearing app data (for Android) to play without an ID initially. This lets you experience the game from Town Hall 1 again, whether you want to try new strategies or just enjoy the early game.

If you want to create a new Clash of Clans account, the easiest and safest way is through Supercell ID. This method allows you to easily switch between your old and new villages on the same device.

How to Get a Fresh Start in Clash of Clans

There are a few ways to effectively "restart" your Clash of Clans journey.

1. Create a New Supercell ID (Recommended)

This is the best way to start fresh without losing access to your old village. Supercell ID lets you keep multiple Clash of Clans accounts linked to different email addresses and switch between them easily.

Here’s how to do it:

• Connect Your Current Village: First, make sure your existing village is connected to a Supercell ID. Open Clash of Clans, go to Settings (the gear icon), and tap "Connected" under the Supercell ID section. If it's not connected, follow the on-screen steps to link it to an email address. This secures your current progress.
• Log Out: Once your main village is safe, go back to the Supercell ID settings and tap the cogwheel icon. Then, tap "Log Out."
• Start a New Game: When you're back at the game's title screen, choose "Play without Supercell ID." This will start a brand-new tutorial and a fresh village.
• Create a New Supercell ID for Your New Village: Play through the early tutorial until you can access the in-game settings again. Then, connect this new village to a *different* email address to create a new Supercell ID for it.

Now you can switch between your villages by logging in and out of their respective Supercell IDs in the game settings. It’s super handy! I remember trying to do this years ago before Supercell ID was common, and it was such a hassle. I ended up losing an old account because I didn't link it properly. Having Supercell ID now makes this so much simpler and less stressful.

2. Clear App Data (Android Only)

For Android users, you can try clearing the app data to force the game to start over. This method doesn't use Supercell ID initially.

• Go to Device Settings: On your Android phone, open Settings.
• Find Apps: Look for "Apps" or "Applications."
• Select Clash of Clans: Find Clash of Clans in your list of apps and tap on it.
• Clear Storage: Go to "Storage" and then tap "Clear Data" (and optionally "Clear Cache").

When you open Clash of Clans again, it should act like a fresh install and present you with the tutorial. You'll then have the option to log in with an existing Supercell ID or create a new one. Be careful with this method, especially if your current game isn't linked to Supercell ID, as you could lose progress.

3. Account Deletion (Permanent)

This is a drastic step and not really a "restart" but an "erase." If you want to permanently remove your Clash of Clans account and all its data, you can request Supercell to delete it. This process is permanent and cannot be undone.

To do this:

• Contact Support: In Clash of Clans, go to Settings, then "Help and Support."
• Request Deletion: Navigate to the "Account" section or use the chat function to speak with support and explicitly request your account and associated data be permanently deleted.

I once considered deleting an old village because I felt like I'd made too many mistakes and wanted a completely clean slate, but I'm glad I didn't. Instead, I created a new Supercell ID for a fresh start, and now I have both my old, high-level village and a new one I'm building up. It's nice to revisit the old one sometimes!

If you want to get a fresh start in Clash of Clans, creating a new Supercell ID is usually the best and safest way. It lets you enjoy the early game again without losing your previous progress.

If you enjoy starting fresh with games or making in-app purchases to speed up your new village's growth, consider using Playstorm! You can earn rewards by playing free games on the Playstorm app, then redeem those rewards for App Store or Google Play gift cards to use in Clash of Clans for gems, resources, or other in-game items.
