+====== How to Remove `freya.imf` and Restart Freya ======
+This guide will show you how to resolve common patching issues by deleting the `freya.imf` file and restarting the Freya Patcher.
+----
+===== 📂 Step 1: Open the Freya Directory =====
+  * Locate the folder where you installed Freya.
+  * By default, it’s in your `C:\Games\Gemstone` folder or the custom location you selected during installation.
+Here is an example of what the directory looks like:
+**{{:patcherrestart.png|Freya Directory}}**
+----
+===== 🗑️ Step 2: Identify the `freya.imf` File =====
+  * Look for the file named **`freya.imf`** in your Freya directory.
+  * The file usually has a gear icon.
+**⚠️ Important:** Do not delete any other files in this folder.
+----
+===== 🖱️ Step 3: Delete the `freya.imf` File =====
+  - Right-click on the `freya.imf` file.
+  - Select **Delete** from the context menu. Alternatively, select the file and press the **Delete** key on your keyboard.
+----
+===== 🔄 Step 4: Restart the Patcher =====
+  - Open the **Gemstone Patcher** application from the same directory.
+  - Allow the patcher to re-download the necessary files.
+----
+===== 🎮 Step 5: Launch the Game =====
+  - After the patching process is complete, click **Start** in the patcher to launch Freya.
+  - The game should now function without issues.
+===== 🔔 Why Should You Do This? =====
