is this safe to delete to restore functionality?
#Reverified Gmod Failed to read addon issue, Found some of them in ugc/referenced folder

the ugc folder is inside userdata/numbers/ folder and that is in the main steam install, my gmod is in another ssd
reverifying redownloads them but i get a long "updating" on the garry's mod in downloads

the long download/second long verification is for your workshop content
deleting steam files is not safe

its done, but nothing changed, still failed to read addon, what could be causing this
"Failed to read addon file F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\4000\1791388855\778476944155464099_legacy.bin! Does it exist?
Failed to load file for 1791388855!"
the folder of that number exists, but its empty, but i search for "778476944155464099" and it leads me to the ugc/referenced folder with "addon_uploads" with a .gma file inside that you need to extract with 7zip to get a file without a extension, you have to add .gma to that extentionless file to get the actual addon contents
i'm not sure if its related but i have 70,000+ tmp files for appmanifest_4000.acf that goes like this : "appmanifest_4000.acf.3009685254.tmp"

I don't know what that's about, you will probably want to contact Steam Support about it, as it's an issue with Steam, not the game

oh well, i found that deleting the "778476944155464099" folder in referenced while unsubscribed makes it work... just now have to do the same to 50+ of them
