hi @Wertandrew ,

There are two methods that have been used in past  
Creative 2.0

 ![Persistence data deletion](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/0/c/9/0c9301c5ce55d57f70818e4ae4e92a2f3175332f.png)

UEFN

 ![Persistence data deletion in UEFN](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/c/2/9c2bad140409afced5f0d205bc59ccd3d04005ef.png)

In both cases “Simulate New User” Edit Session/ Playtest Save and Publish.

My find was in FC2 and someone else found the UEFN versions

Next try  
[UEFN - Content Service (epicgames.com)](https://content-service.bfda.live.use1a.on.epicgames.com/#/my-projects)  
Select Project

Click Persistence

Click Delete to remove your Persistent data or Export for later, then reimport

In this screenshot, you can look at the persistent data live
