    Hey, ive tryed to completly uinstall this game so many times, but no luck. When i reinstall the game, the old edited files still remain.

    Ive downloaded some edited default cars, and i want the old ones back, but when i reinstall the game, the problem persists after install.

    So i was wondering how to completly uinstall the game, files and everything.

    PS: Didnt see another post containing this problem, so i figured i'd make a new one.

    - Cheers !

    Ive tried that several times. The old edited files persists somewhere on the HDD. Quite annoying really..

    Re: Reinstall this game is futile (Complete reinstall)

    Navigate to your BeamNG.drive folder (the folder's location is shown by your installer when you first install the game) and enter the alpha_prerace folder>vehicles and delete all of the default vehicle folders. After that, run the updater and it should reinstall the default files.
    If you still need to do a completely fresh install, delete the entire BeamNG.drive folder from your hard drive and empty your recycle bin.
    If you want to remove ALL data installed by BeamNG, navigate to your AppData folder (you may have to set your computer to display this folder, as it is hidden by default, there are plenty of tutorials on the other side of a quick Google search)>Local and find the BeamNG folder and delete it.
    The game may also add registry items, however those most certainly have nothing to do with vehicles, and would be very complex to manually remove.

    Yeah ive deleted all files related to BeamNG from appdata aswell as my install directory, and it worked. Dont know if its that or if its the new update, but it worked :)


    Thanks all for your generous help :)
