The persistent file always exists, it just clears all data when you delete it.
If you've downloaded through Steam as well as any other way, you probably have two save folders. One in the appdata folder in one in steamapps folder
how do i find those folders? i'm sorry for asking so many questions just really like the game. i'll continue to support where i can
\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\ProjektPassionor\Steam\steamapps\common\Projekt Passion\game\saves
well i did all of that and it still doesn't reset. but thanks for the help i guess i won't get everything unlocked in the achievements.
