Basically, i have this pretty advanced data saving system for one of my customer, however my customer asked how i can reset stats for one player in case if we find out this user is exploiting.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore  = false

local success,errorm = pcall(function()
	DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("MoneyFtMiles")
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	-- Collect user data
	local getsuccess,result = pcall(function()
		return DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	end)
	
	-- The stats aren't gonna load! roblox might be down so stop right there
	if not getsuccess and result then
		warn("Load failed for Money and miles : "..result)
		player:Kick("Something doesn't allow you're stats to properly load at the time. Please rejoin")
		return
	end
	
	-- Player isn't in the datastore
	if getsuccess and not result then
		result = {
			Money = 0, 
			Miles = 0
		}
	end
	
	-- Predefine anti down variable
	local group
	
	-- If the group can be found without error Roblox is not down
	local groupsuccess,grouperror = pcall(function()
		group = player:IsInGroup(1)
	end)
	
	-- No need to keep it
	group = nil
	
	-- Handle potential downside
	if not groupsuccess and grouperror then
		warn("Roblox might be down : "..grouperror)
		
		player:Kick("Roblox might be down at the moment, please join later to protect your progress.")
		return
	end
	
	-- Create the stats
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local Money = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Money.Name = "Money"
	Money.Value = result.Money or 0
	Money.Parent = leaderstats

	local Miles = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Miles.Name = "Miles"
	Miles.Value =  result.Miles or 0
	Miles.Parent = leaderstats
	
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	if not player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
		return
	end
	
	local Money = player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Money")
	local Miles = player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Miles")
	
	if not Money or not Miles then
		return
	end
	
	success,errorm = pcall(function()
		DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,{
			["Money"] = Money.Value;
			["Miles"] = Miles.Value;
		})
	end)
	
	if not success then
		warn("SAVING FAILLURE : "..errorm)
	end
	
end)

All revolves around deleting the user’s data store entry.

well, if you wanted it as a one-line command, you can just run this:

game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("MoneyFtMiles"):RemoveAsync(game:GetService("Players"):GetUserIdFromNameAsync(username))

obviously, there is some async (asynchronous) network requests there so they could error, but provided they don’t fail it should remove the entry.

if you don’t want to open up Roblox or Studio, you can send a HTTP DELETE request to the endpoint:

(ignore the scope section if no scope was set)
