How to Reinstall Discord and Why does reinstalling it fixes various issues?

In a nutshell, by doing a complete reinstall, you are essentially deleting all of the Discord files that are stored on your PC. These files may be corrupted or may interfere with the functioning of the app, thus causing the issues with Discord.
