Steam beta not updating/ trying to switch back to non beta

Im trying to figure out how to switch back to opt out of the steam beta because my steam update isnt doing anything. in order for me to opt out i have to be able to access steam which i cannot do because it will not update. Help...

Go to where you installed Steam on your computer > Steam > package > delete the BETA file in there and then start up Steam. It should prompt you into downloading the original client files and take you out of the Steam beat client.

I don’t know which one is the beta file? There’s not one called beta file

[tintingaroo]

Steam Installation folder > package

[JustAddBullets]

It says this folder is empty

[tintingaroo]

That's where the data for the client updates gets downloaded to if I'm not mistaken - so something preventing that?
Don't have the answer for this situation :(

Don't know how good the info is but basic searches say try Steam as admin, then go on to say try with the package folder removed but here's the 'Steam Client Troubleshooting' page: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/29A6-F529-F956-6292

there command -clearbeta will be added to steam shortcut

if not worked there some steps for backup importand data and repair client:
in cmd.exe (or an .cmd file) run as Administrator

net stop "Steam Client Service"

and delete C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Steam\

keep \backup:
%steam%\appcache\stats\
%steam%\config\
%steam%\logs\
%steam%\steam\games\ games icons!
%steam%\userdata\

export
regexp.cmd:

reg export "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve" C:\hklm_valve.reg /y
reg export "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve" C:\hcu_valve.reg /y

configs of client and games, stored in registry

check filesystem

and OS integrity

Then, execute as Administrator a resetnetwork.cmd command file with the following content:

ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
timeout /t 120
ipconfig /renew
netsh int ipv4 reset >c:\resetlog4.txt
netsh int ipv6 reset >c:\resetlog6.txt
netsh winsock show catalog >c:\winsock.txt
netsh winsock reset catalog
reboot

Ipconfig.txt, resetlog4.txt, resetlog6.txt, winsock.txt - this is backup and logs for rollback, if something went wrong

option to reset client config to default settings

steam://flushconfig

than delete all, except:

keep \backup:
%steam%\appcache\stats\
%steam%\config\
%steam%\logs\
%steam%\steam\games\
%steam%\userdata\
%steam%\steamapps\
%steam%\steam.exe
%steam%\ssfn*

be sure that your antivirus NOT block steam components and NOT use protection and \ or sandbox that prevent changes like Controlled access to files and folders in Windows Defender

than you can switch to beta
