i need help with resetting game files

[Moneybags McJerryson Junior]

so i accidentally installed a mod a while back for rdr2 story and no longer need it (the vr mod) because i dont plan on setting up the whole thing. is there a way i can revert all the files back to normal, meaning deleting the mod files and going back to the base game?

You can 'clean' the folder by comparing to a vanilla screenshot - if it isn't in the screenshot- I'd delete it. Verify files afterwards to fix mistakes.

Can also just turn on file extensions, show hidden files, etc - and delete any FILE that is NOT a .RPF --- and any FOLDER that is NOT --- 12on7, redistributables, or x64.
Verify game files after.

May also want to go to my docs / rockstar games / red dead redemption 2 / settings and delete the system.xml file (or rename it). VR mod may have modified this depending how far you actually went while installing it / how you installed it. If you only dropped files into the rdr2 folder - likely not necessary.

*Of note - if startup.meta was used/in use --- Red Dead Redemption 2 \ x64 \ Data
The file is used for private RDO lobbies / 'password' entry at bottom.

If you don't wanna do that - you can just delete everything... EVERYTHING... and verify files. Expect a 100+gb redownload though - that was largely unnecessary.

[If you don't wanna do that - you can just delete everything... EVERYTHING... and verify files. Expect a 100+gb redownload though - that was largely unnecessary.] so i could reinstall after deleting ALL files and they are reset?

[Moneybags McJerryson Junior]

by this do you mean delete the files then verify them?

So what exactly is the actual problem 'now'?
Your game folder is 100% clean?
You nuked the system.xml file?
What else is the issue?
