Go the the .../data/save/ folder and delete the region# folder.

There's no default option - gotta go through the local file.

If you use LazyNewbPack or anything with DFHack, there is an option when selecting a world to delete it.

DFHack offers an option to rename worlds (specifically, in gui/load-screen, which is enabled by default), but not to delete worlds.

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.

The solution presented by feelotraveller, however, is still by far the simplest. :)

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

Thanks, that must have been what I was thinking of. My mistake.
