    Hi, I want to delete BeamNG and reinstall it and on the FAQ it says to Delete BeamNG.Drive folder from Steam/Steamapp/common but when I do that it says You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder and when I click continue it says You need permission to perform this action. Can someone help me? Thanks.

    Are you an administrator on your computer?

    Is BeamNG running in the background?

    Try to restart steam, and see if that works.
    If not, restart your computer and then try to delete the folder then.

    No, he means he's trying to delete the BeamNG folder after he cleared local data.

    Have you tried verifying the integrity? That might fix the broken files.
