overworld file help

[jnico]

so i wanted to just delete the overworld but i dont know what files to delete there world1.zip world2.zip world.zip (not in the world file) and there is this http://imgur.com/IUUytvK                                                       which one of these would be the overworld?

 

[Kalbintion]

the folder named "region" contains the information for the world, so deleting it will reset the overworld. this holds true for all dimensional folders as well, just the overworld isnt in a dim folder but in the base world folder.

 

Edit: Just a note, removing the region folder may cause some odd issues to crop up since it doesnt remove other information like village locations, etc. the region folder contains the chunks though and the entities within them. essentially making it brand new for the most part. just be aware some issues may arise from this action.
