Does a clean in VS fully delete bin folder, meaning I need to follow all steps on windows installation page where I copy the DLLs, update config etc?

if you fully delete you will have to copy the dll's back over and possibly the data folder depending on where you put it

doing a clean and build you wont have to copy the dll's and the data folder back over, will just have to redo configs unless you copy pasted and renamed the .dist to .conf

Yeah I copy pasted and renamed the dist to conf.
Okay so I have fully running server now. If I fetch the new code and decide to do a clean and rebuild, I shouldn't have any impact on my world config

Ik database persists obviously, but yeah just want to avoid unpacking assets or redoing config files

yea a clean and build would work, might be some updates in config settings sometimes so just watch out for that as well

Can someone confirm for me where .conf files go?
Linux classic installation.
The official docs (https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/linux-server-setup) don't explicitly say where they go: "First of all you need to find the two default config files (named `worldserver.conf.dist` and `authserver.conf.dist`) and copy them. Then rename the copies their namesakes without the `.dist` extension. You can find them within the install directory `$AC_CODE_DIR/env/dist/etc/.`"
Since no other directory was listed, I inferred they are to remain `$AC_CODE_DIR/env/dist/etc/`
Since I can run Wow I presume this is the correct location.
However, for modules it's not clear to me if I put the configuration files in the same location, or `$AC_CODE_DIR/env/dist/bin`. The docs module page (https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/installing-a-module) does not make any mention of module configuration files.
However, various modules, such as https://github.com/Brian-Aldridge/mod-npc-beastmaster, state "If you need to change the module configuration, go to your server configuration folder (where your `worldserver` or `worldserver.exe` is), copy `mod_npc_beastmaster.conf.dist` to `mod_npc_beastmaster.conf` and edit that new file." This suggests that module configuration files are placed in `$AC_CODE_DIR/env/dist/bin`.
Can someone confirm with me that these are the correct places to put configuration files?
* worldserver.conf + authserver.conf: `$AC_CODE_DIR/env/dist/etc`
* module configuration files: `$AC_CODE_DIR/env/dist/bin`
I ask because I'm trying to configure some modules but they do not appear to be reading my configuration files, regardless of whether I place them in `$AC_CODE_DIR/env/dist/etc` or `$AC_CODE_DIR/env/dist/bin`.
Thanks

The relevant conf.dist files for all modules you have included after building should be automatically copied from their sources to env/dist/etc/modules/. That's where you'd make copies of them without the dist extension for your personal conf settings.
