Black screen of dead files

[The_BoredPrinter]

Hi!
First of all I'm unsure I asked this in the right section of the forum, so I'm sorry is that's so.

I've recently cleaned up in my computer and among others I deleted FreeCAD 0.16. I suppose I deleted some associated files too because now my whole screen turns black when I open a file, no matter if it's a new file or a already started file. I should also say that I deleted all of freecad but the model-files and installed FreeCAD 0.18 again to try make it better, according to the first law of engineering; "restart it". But it didn't go as planned. The same black screen is still showing.
As I mentioned, I deleted 0.16 and I must have deleted some other necessary files too, but I thought those would come back when I reinstalled it all again. How do I get those back?

Thank you.

You can try to reset the configuration with the button in the preferences. Another possibility is to delete your config files or to move them in case you want to restore them.
