kvintanzil Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) i want to upgrade my old version of ECE to the latest version and usually i will just uninstall / delete the old version from my data altogether but this time it didn't work with ECE, when i try to uninstall it from my active profile it says that the mod was not deactivated but it has red circle in it, see this to see what i mean https://imgur.com/byeejAu i also tried the option to delete mod permanently and uninstall but it didn't work either. now after all that i tried to re-install it but it didn't work, the installer just closed immediately and nothing appear on the screen. so i guess something must have corrupted... my question is how do i uninstall this from my NMM? it is still detected as 'installed mod' and when i try to remove the mod file from the directory file Local disc:/Games/NMM/SkyrimSEMods/when i try to open NMM it says that i have a missing mod file which is obvious because the ECE file was deleted & cannot be found, and NMM gave me 2 options https://imgur.com/BVf1Dyv which is1. selecting YES to input the location of my mod folder2. selectin NO to automatically uninstall the missing mod file i obviously pick the 2nd option and the uninstallation screen appear from NMM before going to the application like usual, now after the app is open the mod is deleted from my mod list but it is still detected as installed mod by NMM! so if i activate the latest ECE, i would still have this data https://imgur.com/9rabbow326 total mods327 installed mods326 mods enabled i have 1 extra installed mod so i guess the old ECE file is stuck in my skyrim data?? AND not only that! i tried closing the NMM and reopening it again and guess what! NMM still giving me warning about a missing mod file from ECE even though i have already deleted the file and pick NO to uninstall the missing mod file, so now i will keep having this warning everytime i open NMM.. how do i fix this?!?!

Jannifer Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Let me give you a little old school advice. :p Reboot/restart your computer. Then, make sure that you uninstall the old version before you delete the mod. If that fails, then simply install the new version over the old one. Unless you are specifically told otherwise by the mod author, this process usually goes just fine. Not always, but usually. :) Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamReaper Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I faced same problem with 1 mod, when re-installing mods after installing clear version of Skyrim (and it says "Mods are installed" but it's clear game without mods :D) and that problem was with Avast. He show notifications about "This file is trying to access to delete file ****.jpg" i just click like forget about it, Avast and mod will succesfully re-install :3 I appology for possible illiteracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
