Whenever I tried to start my minecraft launcher, a little box would pop up and say it wouldn't launch and was caused by a corruption and that I had to reinstall minecraft. Whenever I did the same thing would happen. Could someone please help?
Best Answer
- Delete the Minecraft.exe file as you have been doing. (I think you can skip this first step)
- Right click on the start menu and select
Run(see image below, and enter%appdata%in the highlighted area); Alternativley, if the start menu takes you to tile view, you can simply type "run" from the tile view and hit enter. - Open the directory called "Roaming"
- Copy the .minecraft folder to your desktop (just in case)
- Delete the folder named .minecraft
- Download the game again from online

Answer 2
If you haven't already, BEFORE you reinstall, make certain that you have uninstalled and deleted ALL game files. Before you do this, I would strongly recommend backing up any world data files you wish to try to repair. If you use any resource packs and have an internet data limit, you should save those too.
Your game files are stored at
- [WINDOWS]:
%APPDATA%/Roaming/.minecraft. - [OS X]:
~/Library/Application Support/minecraft - [Linux]:
/user/<USERNAME>/.minecraft - [MCPE]: (for completeness)
/sdcard/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds
Alternately you can choose to install it somewhere else and configure it to store its data files somewhere else.
