How to format game to fresh install?

[calys]

I'm reuploading this forum post because people don't understand what I want, telling me 'you're not doing this right' and that stuff. I want to know, how to remove ALL previous save data, as reinstalling isn't enough.

a true reset is pretty much the same as a fresh install unless you have done genocide.

If you have done genocide, you ahve what you wanted, or, as chara said, you thought you were above the consequences?

I want to format my game. I don't have true reset. I'm stuck in the Omega Flowey fight. You aren't helping.

It would've been easier if you named the topic of this discussion: "How to escape Omega Flowey without having to fight him" or something similar to that.

Are you on Windows or Mac?

On Windows, type %localappdata% into the searchbar on the desktop.

In the window that opens find the folder named UNDERTALE.
Open the folder, then either delete or remove everything in it so that the folder is empty.
After that, when you start the game again it will be a completely fresh run.

On Mac, it's the same procedure but the name of the folder and the way you get to it is different.

On the desktop you click Go at the top, then hold down the Option key to make Library appear in the dropdown menu. Select it, then Application Support.
Find the folder named com.tobyfox.undertale. Then delete or remove its contents so that the folder is empty. Startup the game again and you should be on a new run.

If you've completed genocide (and still have the consequences) doing this will put you back into the 10 minute black screen. If you don't care about the consequences just wait it out and accept the deal, this will reset to a new run, but still have the genocide consequences.

If you want to remove the genocide consequences that's a whole other process that involves deleting a file within your steam userdata.

waaaaait a minute.

Omega flowey is the easiest final boss in the game (i didnt even knew it could kill you till i saw it on yourtube, i thought their htis always left you with a sliver of HP)

If you restart and pick another route, the boss is going to be harder.

I could be wrong, but I think they started the game and got to Photoshop Flowey, and then didn't play it again for a long time. So now they just want to start over fresh.

like riding a bicycle, if you had X level of skill, recovering it is a matter of minutes

I don't think it's a matter of not being able to beat the boss, it's they want a fuller experience rather than starting in the middle of one they forgot about.

oh well, he do he, but probably beating flowey and resetting afterwards will be the quickest way of dealing with unless he already know how to deal with it.

Lets say he/she is terribly unskilled and needs a complete 30 minutes to beat flowey.

The game would have been restarted 11 days ago.
