This was inspired by TechSkylander1518's "How to play a Pokémon fan game" tutorial.
Step 1: Locate your game folder.
I'm assuming you've already extracted the .zip or .rar or whatever, so you should have a folder containing (almost) all the game's contents sitting somewhere on your PC.
Step 2: Delete said folder
"But won't I lose my progress?" You won't, because your save is stored in a different location. For older versions of Essentials, the save will be found in C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games. For newer versions of Essentials, the save will be found in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming. Do keep in mind that AppData is a hidden folder. You will either need to check the option in File Explorer called "Show hidden files, folders, and drives", or type %AppData% into the address bar in File Explorer.
Step 3: Download the game again.
Pretend you're installing the game for the first time, and repeat the exact same steps: downloading, extracting, etc.
