so. i was trying to download plugins. wasnt working. so i wanted to get rid of everything i had done and start over. so i just deleted everything in C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit. then when i tried opening OBS it failed. so i panicked and dragged everything out of the recycle bin and back in the OBS folder, but now all the files look different? OBS opens now, but i get nothing but a black screen on all my scenes. literally everything else seems to work ok. when i record tho, theres no audio, even tho i see in on the audio mixer. pls help lol

from right after i opened it

UPDATE: i asked a friend to send me his 64bit folder from the plugins folder and i replaced mine with his. obs opens and i actually see everything, but it crashes immediately. assuming he just has some plugins that i dont or something. heres the crash report:

It looks like you've irrecoverably messed up your install. Delete the whole obs-studio folder in C:\Program Files\ and re-install.
