As the subject says I have a issue when using my server to switch between DLC maps. The old .ark files for the worlds I have previously used are getting wiped from the save file. Is this an intended feature or is there a way to make sure these files do not get removed?

Thanks.

The best practice here, as Larkfields pointed out, is to use ?AltSaveDirectoryName=FolderName in your command line. Here's an example command line that I use on one of my servers:

START "Gen2" /min "D:\Servers\ARK\live\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ShooterGameServer.exe" CrystalIsles?listen?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?MaxPlayers=20?AllowCrateSpawnsOnTopOfStructures=True?AltSaveDirectoryName=CrystalIsles -clusterid=ClusterName -NoTransferFromFiltering -NoBattlEye -servergamelog -usecache -structurememopts -noundermeshchecking -noundermeshkilling -nosteamclient -game -server -log

You'll end up with a folder in your Saved folder like this:
