Missing Plugin

I cannot launch the game and get this error: "This project requires the 'OnlineServicesSteamLimited' plugin, which could not be found. Would you like to disable it and continue? If you do, you will no longer be able to open any assets created with it. If not, the application will close." I was messing with game files trying to update the save, but didn't know what I was doing and messed with files in the "factoryGame" Folder. I use steam on windows, and previously used mods but uninstalled everything trying to fix the issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, also restarted my computer several times. I deleted all the mod folders and mod caches (I think.) Google doesn't have much in the way of ideas, but i tried a lot of things.
Solution:
Solution: Delete the "FactoryGame" Folder and then re-verify install. for some reason fully uninstalling and re-installing doesn't work.

it should sort it out really! I'd give it another go, see if it says "all files verified successfully" at the end

It's possible there were leftover files which steam wasn't aware of

sometimes steam will leave behind files on an uninstall which can cause problems
