How to Reset Steam: Step-By-Step Guide
Another quick tip if you're just looking to refresh your Steam files without a full reset – you can delete everything in your Steam folder except for SteamApps, user data, and the Steam.exe file. Then run Steam.exe, and it'll download fresh files. However, remember this doesn't delete games but refreshes Steam.

Resetting Steam is actually really easy! Just exit the Steam client completely, then restart your computer. After that, right-click on the Steam icon and select 'Run as Administrator'. This should sort out most issues without losing any games or data. If you're having problems with a game, try right-clicking on the game in your Steam Library, go to 'Properties', then 'Local Files', and hit 'Verify Integrity of Game Files'.
Honestly, most problems on Steam don't require a full reset. Just logging out and logging back in does the trick for me most of the time. It's like giving Steam a quick nap.
