Hi there,
So I've recently bought Minecraft and I noticed on what I was missing on for all these years, yesterday I maybe spent a whole six hours, exploring the world I had generated on single player mode... Being a total beginner, I have to admit; I spent them trying to find my house, where I would have been adventuring a bit too far... Or, get lost trying to find my loots from where I've died. I wouldn't quit. Although, I had heard of a mod which would give the ability to place waypoints down, while seeking for this particular mod, I fell on some others and this is where everything started going wrong.
Being absolute bad when it come to computing, I couldn't figure out how to download and install the mods. I searched the internet for some guides, which allowed me to install FORGE to begin with, at this point, everything was going fine. Then came the time to install another mod, I followed a video guide to install this one so it went smoothly. And then, the last couple of mods, after seeing that the two previous mods where basically to move everything from a file to another, I've done that to all of them... When I tried to launch, an error would pop. So I tried uninstalling, but something was preventing it. I then decided to just delete the whole folder and start over, but here's the thing; When ever I download or launch the Minecraft launcher, taken on the official site, it would simply launch the game, recreate the files in which, it would seem, still contain the mods. Another problem would be that it wouldn't create a desktop shortcut nor an uninstalldotexe file nor a launcher. I've tried a lot of things, I even tried the system restore -- if it can make it look any better. Unfortunately, I'm still with the same problem, and I'm giving a try on the forum, even if I really dislike forums.
Hopefully, one of you will have the answer, a thing's sure; I've learned how important a backup file is.
You may need to reinstall the locally installed files that Minecraft puts into place.
To do so, start Minecraft, press 'Options' (above the 'Login' button), Press 'Force update!', then press 'Done', and login to Minecraft. See http://i.imgur.com/5b09B.png for visual instructions. This should remove the mods.

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your answer.
I might have tried this thing, but it didn't solve my problem of missing files... I could have swore that when I first installed, I had the uninstall & the launcher file inside the minecraft folder. Now, if I want to start the game, I have to launch with the Minecraftdotexe found on the website, but every time I launch this thing, it's asking me for the permission to run this file; Which annoys me a little bit. Same goes for the uninstall file, as if I want to be uninstalling... Nothing appears even on the control panel's file deletion tool.
Minecraft doesn't have an uninstaller. I am not sure what you are on about.
When I first installed Minecraft, I had these both files inside my folder as well as the launcher which had been created during the installer/patcher. If I was to open the control panel programs removal tool, I could see 'Minecraft v1.5.2' in the program list. This was here before I delete the whole folder.

There is no such thing, Minecraft only provides a launcher, and the only way to "uninstall" it is through deletion of its files. Minecraft does not implant itself in the registry as well, so it will not show up in the "uninstall a program" menu.
As stated before; By downloading the files for the very first time with the official patcher, lol.
But then, if I have to stick with the file which is classified as an installer to my computer, how do I get rid of the 'The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?', is there a launcher I could find somewhere otherwise? To create shortcuts, launch the game without having to press another button to launch the game?

I am still confused, you are not supposed to have any kind of "uninstaller". I fear for your computer's safety.
In any case. Just untick the "Always ask before opening this file"

Where have you obtained such files?
But then, if I have to stick with the file which is classified as an installer to my computer, how do I get rid of the 'The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?', is there a launcher I could find somewhere otherwise? To create shortcuts, launch the game without having to press another button to launch the game?

Is this the only way?
In that case, thank you for your help.
I am confused myself for what it's about the files I had.
Alrightly then, I shall clear all the files again then start over from scratch!
