To be fair, what you tried to do is a pretty strange use case.
Verify the game data, it will re-download the game files. You can't really blame steam when you are changing files out side steams knowledge.
This comment should be deleted soon
It might have tried, failed to return a deleted confirmation, and didn't update the internal list of installed files, or something.
Pretty interesting
ok thanks 🙏
I’ll never understand people who do nonsense like this.
Tell steam to verify the files. That should make it realize they're missing.
