# How to fix the outdated version error on a Bedrock server

The message _"The host you are trying to join using an older version of Minecraft. Try again when the host has updated its version. Unable to connect"_ usually appears when the Bedrock server version no longer matches the client. The cleanest way to fix this on a vanilla Bedrock server is to reinstall.

## Steps

1. Go to the **Files** menu, then delete the `behavior_packs` and `resource_packs` folders if they exist.
2. Go to the **Startup** menu, then change **Bedrock version** to the version you want, for example the latest Minecraft Bedrock version `1.26.20.5`.
3. Go to the **Settings** menu, then **Reinstall** your server.
4. Go back to the **Console** menu, then **Start** the server.
5. Try to join again from the Minecraft Bedrock client.
