In a short explanation of what I did; my Movie Studio Platinum 16 that I installed from steam got a settings issue that I tried to revert by removing the file that held the settings changes, or so I thought. Instead I ended up removing some important files so that it would not launch any more.
I then thought that maybe I should manually try to fix both problems by completely removing all traces from my PC so I uninstalled it, but when I reinstalled, the settings remain unchanged and still broken in its own way. So lastly I decided to see if I could remove all files tied to the application, So I uninstalled the program, looked through Steam installed on my PC and removed files named/related to the program. Once the damage was done I reinstalled the program and on a new 4tb hard drive I recently installed in my PC build, to save on space on D drive. Now when I try and launch the application I get an error message like this one in the photo.
The Steam file still remains on D: as seen here.
Here is the two places that Steam appears in different ways
And lastly, I found these here.
If more information is needed I can provide some more but if you can help me out it would mean the world to me!
