The basic method of deleting items in your Once Human base is to press the 'B' key (on PC) to open the build menu. Once the build menu is open, you can then highlight any item inside with your reticle and tap the 'R' key (on PC) to instantly delete it.

A slow and ineffective method for deleting your base would be to do this on every item starting from top to bottom. Thankfully, we have a much better way to reset your entire area.

After opening your build menu, find an empty area in your territory and place a 2x2 foundation block there. Next, move all of your important housing items, particularly water and item storage pieces onto this free block. To move these items, press the 'F' key (on PC).

Once all of your important items are safe, enter the build menu again and target the foundation blocks of your base. Once they're targetted, use the 'R' key to delete them. This will cause all items on top of them to also be instantly deleted. By deleting all the lowest level pieces, you will instantly destroy everything above them, demolishing the base in seconds.

This is the fastest and most efficient way to delete your home in Once Human while preserving your storage chests. There's also no need to worry about losing materials, as deleting housing items this way refunds their cost.
