Factory resetting CS:GO is actually simpler than it sounds! Just go to your Steam Library, right-click on CS:GO, select 'Properties,' then go to 'Local Files' and hit 'Verify Integrity of Game Files.' Steam will check your game files and reset any modified files back to the original state. If you wanna go full nuclear, you can uninstall CS:GO from Steam and reinstall it. That's basically like factory resetting your game, making everything fresh and clean!

Just reinstall, it's easier.

If you're looking to reset all your settings in CS:GO to their default state, you'll want to delete your config file. Navigate to the CS:GO folder in your Steam directory, find the file named 'config' or 'config.cfg' in the 'cfg' folder, and delete it. When you launch the game next, CS:GO will automatically create a new config file with all the default settings. But remember, this wipes all your custom settings, so make a backup if you need to!

Honestly, just verifying your game files usually does the trick for most issues. No need to go deleting stuff.
