Have you tried to delete the Source Filmmaker folder that is in the steam folder?

I did that too, but now every time I try to reinstall it, it launches the program and says that it can't run the program cause files are corrupt. Can anyone help me? 3:

So, delete all the files? For everything in Steam? I don't think that's a smart Idea. I deleted all files related to Source Filmmaker, so...

You should never unistall a Steam game/application manually, always use the "delete local content" dialog. To fix your problem, either uninstall it correctly like I just mentioned and then reinstall it, or verify your cache files, which should redownload the missing files.

If you have just deleted folders from your C:\Program File (X86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\SourceFilmmaker, then you have not deleted SFM.

The PROPER way to do it is to go into your Steam Library, Select All Software, Right click on Source Filmmaker and select Delete Local Content. This will completely uninstall SFM and allows the Steam Client to verify that it does not live on your machine. The Steam delete process also cleans the proper registry entries to allow a proper reinstall.

The alternative way to delete SFM is to go into your Start, Control Panel, Programs and Feature, and uninstall from there. But the previous method is the preferred way to do it.

For your situation where SFM is reporting corrupt files I would first Go into Library, Select All Software, Right Click Source Filmmaker, Select Properties, Select Local Files then select Verify Integrity of Application Cache. This may bring SFM back into a more stable state by downloading missing files. Once that is done, perform the PROPER delete process then download and reinstall SFM again.

That's my 2 cents for what it's worth...

Good Luck
