Just looks like a program to reset Garry's mod, I wouldn't mess with it unless you want to re-install the game, it might also have to do with deleting the local content on steam.

I don't think it was gonna cause issues, it looks like that's a program ran when un-installing the game, but if your worried over it it's probably fine that you removed it, if it is what I think it is, it will re-create itself if you ever need to delete Garry's mod.

its a console code designed to reset gmod to fresh state.... it will delete all mods server files that you have downloaded including the maps..... by the looks of it its clean it needs to be run inside the bin

Its named suspiciously valid file or not cant hurt to remove it if you have no intention of reseting gmod (assuming thats what it does )

Yeah, a better name for it would be FactoryResetGMod or something.

Hey guys, looks like I forgot to list this in the recent update's changelog. It's just a script that'll reset your game's config and re-download a few files to make sure they haven't been modified. It's nothing to worry about.

I'll go ahead and rename it to FactoryReset-GMod.bat or something for the next update, because I can see how the name is pretty misleading.
