kraigisboss Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 So I have a question about the cache folder for vortex. So It has a lot of mods in there that were uninstalled by me in the past which is confusing me beyond no end. And the text file located in each says false. Can the cache folder be emptied or not because it's uses up a bit to much space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 What "cache folder" are you talking about? Sounds like you've been poking around in some of Vortex's internal files or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's located in documents like this C:\Users\Kraigisboss\Documents\cache and the mods in there are one's I've uninstalled in the past. The cacheinfo.txt has this for the mods False@@Data\@@-@@- I'm not sure what it means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, just did a quick google search that brought me back to the Nexus, there's a thread where someone is talking about cacheinfo.txt using the same notation as you with the @@@-@@ etc. That file and/or folder is from NMM (Nexus Mod Manager), not Vortex. Vortex and Nexus Mod Manger are two DIFFERENT things Which Mod Manager are you actually using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's safe then to remove now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
