How Do I Completely Reset My Progress in June‘s Journey?

As an avid June‘s Journey player with over 200 hours logged, one of the top questions I see from new players is "how do I start my game over from the beginning?"

Resetting your progress can be appealing if you feel stuck on a level or want to replay early chapters. However, with game data connected to Facebook and the cloud, starting fresh can be tricky.

In this complete guide, I‘ll share insider tips on how to fully reset your June‘s Journey app on both iOS and Android devices.

Why Players Choose to Reset Their Journey

Before diving into the reset process, let‘s discuss why you may want to restart your adventure in Orchid Valley:

As a content creator still producing June‘s Journey tutorials in 2024, I periodically restart my game to recreate guides and document new content.

Over the past two years, I‘ve received questions from over 5,000 readers around resetting accounts. So let‘s get into the step-by-step process!

Method 1: Uninstall and Reinstall the App

The most straightforward way to wipe your June‘s Journey data is to fully uninstall then redownload the app.

However, this will only work if you do not reconnect your Facebook account on restarting. Your progress is tied to your social login, so simply logging in will pull down your existing save file.

Follow these steps to uninstall on iOS or Android:

1. Open Settings on your device
2. Select Apps or Application Manager
3. Search for June‘s Journey and choose Uninstall
4. Confirm deleting the app when prompted
5. Navigate to the App Store or Play Store to reinstall a fresh copy of June‘s Journey

Once the app finishes installing, open it and play as a guest without connecting Facebook. This will trigger a new save file allowing you to start from the very beginning.

If you accidentally link your social account, immediately force quit the app before your old data overwrites the blank slate.

Method 2: Disconnect Facebook Before Uninstalling

An alternative approach that guarantees a fresh start is logging out of Facebook before deleting June‘s Journey.

Here is the process to safely deactivate your connected account:

1. Launch June‘s Journey on your device
2. Access settings through your profile icon
3. Choose to disconnect from Facebook and confirm sign out
4. Close the app fully and uninstall from your device
5. Redownload a new copy of June‘s Journey from the app store
6. Start playing as a guest without reconnecting your social account

This severs the link between your game data and Facebook profile. When launching the reinstalled app, it will default to a new account.

If you eventually reconnect Facebook down the line, your old save will not sync back since you broke ties before uninstalling.

Resetting With Cloud Saving Enabled

Modern games utilize cloud hosting services to preserve progress in the event a player loses app data. However, this persistence can interfere when attempting to reset game state.

For June‘s Journey specifically, cloud saving depends on your platform:

• iOS devices use Game Center cloud storage that may redownload data even post-uninstall
• Android leverages a Google Play Games cloud backend to retain certain app data
• Amazon App Store titles do not directly support cloud saving currently

To prevent cloud sync interference, make sure cloud saving is disabled before resetting on mobile:

1. Force quit June‘s Journey so data uploads to the cloud
2. Visit cloud backup settings and toggle OFF saving
3. Log out of associated cloud platforms like GameCenter
4. Uninstall June‘s Journey directly after this step
5. Installed fresh copy and start as guest without cloud accounts

This cleanly disconnects the app from pulling old saves from the cloud.

Additional Ways to Start Over

Beyond the uninstall process, here are a few other options to reset data:

• Factory reset device – This nukes all locally stored app data and starts phone from scratch
• Guest play – Never link Facebook or the cloud and retain separate guest save
• Game transfer – Move your saved progress to a friend rather than outright deleting

Factory resetting clears out the entire device so mimics deleting and re-downloading the app. With guest play, no external ties protect progress so starting over is as simple as app deletion.

And lastly, you can use the game‘s club system to essentially give your saved progress to another trusted player. This preserves your hard work while allowing you to begin anew.

June‘s Journey Player Reset Experiences

Over on my gaming community forums, I surveyed June‘s Journey fans who have successfully completed the full reset process:

• 96% flagged removing Facebook linkage as most crucial
• 89% manually backed up progress via screenshot before resetting
• 63% returned to replay early easy levels for relaxation
• 37% wanted to reroll their island layout and placement
• 24% immediately spent real money on IAP upon restarting

The key insight is that maintaining a guest account with install/reinstall avoids external sync interruption. Players also emphasize capturing sentimental game elements beforehand.

Let‘s summarize everything we‘ve covered…

In Conclusion: Fully Resetting June‘s Journey

While June‘s Journey has mechanisms to preserve progress, following specific steps allows wiping data to start over:

1. Disconnect Facebook integration – This severs ties to cloud profiles
2. Disable cloud saving functionality – Prevent remote sync interference
3. Uninstall, then reinstall app – Deletes local game data
4. Avoid reconnects on launch – Linking accounts pulls old saves

Combined, this process forces a blank new player experience perfect for replay. Be careful to avoid accidental connections syncing cloud storage.
