- The world data, which also includes player inventories, is saved to a folder in the current working directory of the server. The name of said folder depends on the level-name setting in server.properties, and defaults to world. Thus, you can start a new world and toggle between the saves by simply changing this setting.

Jul 6, 2017 · Whatever folder you start your Minecraft server in is the folder that contains the "plugins" folder. So, if you make a folder called "Sarvuhr" and put your server jar file in there, that is the folder where the "plugins" folder should be located.
My only guess at this point is another file somewhere in the server folder outside playerdata, or somehow data is being saved and not reset properly within my Mojang account itself for that player. I post it here as it 'seems' to be a server sourced issue, but I'm not sure.

As we mentioned in our How To Get Started With Minecraft article, the game is in the form of an executable Jar file. It creates a directory on your computer for your saved worlds and settings, but it differs depending on what OS you’re running. On Windows:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
Take note that the AppData directory is hidden, so be sure to show hidden files from within Folder Options. On Mac OS:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/minecraft
On Linux:
/home/username/.minecraft
Wouldn’t it be great if you could just keep your save files in one place, but have it be accessible by Minecraft on all of your computers? Using Dropbox, this is pretty easy to do. First of all, make sure you have a backup of your save file somewhere else, in case you mess up. Next, move the “saves” folder from its original location to your Dropbox folder:
To recap, you should NOT have a “saves” folder in your Minecraft settings folder. You should have one somewhere in Dropbox and saved somewhere else as a backup. Now comes the tricky part: you have to create “symbolic links” to that folder on your computer, using the command-line. It’s not very difficult, regardless of what system you’re on. On Windows: Go to Start > Accessories and right-clock on “Command Prompt.” Choose “Run as Administrator…” Navigate to your Minecraft directory with the following command:
cd “C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft”
The quotes will let the command execute properly even if there’s a space in there somewhere. Next, make a symbolic link to your Dropbox saves folder with the following command:
mklink –d “saves” “C:\path\to\Dropbox\saves”
Remember to enter the proper path in place of “path\to\Dropbox”. You’ll see a message pop up if you did it correctly.

Uploaded worlds are copied and saved on the server, not on your PC. If anything, I'd expect it to be somewhere in temp files, so it should be wiped once you reboot or clear your bin or something. Don't think it should store the server files on your storage.
