How do I clear my game data?

Question

I've been having a problem with Sims 4, that I can't play previous games, cause I guess they weren't recent. My problem is described here to the best of my ability, in a discussion called Multiple New games load problem. I can't link the discussion here because of the rules of the forum, sorry, but that mentioned discussion is still posted on this site. I wanna return to sims 4, I really do. But I can't play with the couple I originally created, cause I and caused many other families, so I couldn't play my first couple :( It gotten buried, and the load menu I guess only shows the most recent family played. It don't know what happened. I went through my sims household gallery & deleted households that were cluttering my game & also, I tried to "copy" the first couple I made to play them again, but it didn't feel right to do that. I haven't played sims 4 in a very long time. I only have the Fazbear family I created left. But I don't wanna play as them. And the menu is still cluttered with auto saved games & my folder that holds all my sims 4 games is so fat with games. I don't know what to do. I wanna clear all of it and start over. Sure, I'll lose all progress I had with my Fazbear family, but I don't care. So can anyone please tell me how I can delete all sims 4 games so I can start sims 4 new again? Please I'm asking for help because I don't wanna break my game or do something stupid that makes it unplayable. I got Sims 4 from Origin. So how do I delete to start my whole game over? I'm scared if I throw my sims 4 save files in the recycling bin that would break the game or corrupt it. Can anyone help me?

And I don't know anything about computers, so if it's a long process I would need to be directed through it step by step. Please be kind and help if possible. If no one can help, I understand, & I could ask for help from people in my life, but I don't wanna bother them right now if it's possible someone can help me from this site.

Ok. does the game need to be reinstalled?No reinstalling needed. Once you generate a new sims 4 file it's as if you installed the game from scratch ok thank you :D

Go to your computer folders. Documents folder to Electronic Arts folder. In the Electronic Arts folder you will find the sims 4 folder. Drag the sims 4 folder to desktop, start the game and it will generate a new clean sims 4 folder and you can start over

You can keep the old sims 4 folder just in case or delete it if you don't want to keep it.
