Deleting the whole VirtualInstall folder isn't neccessary.
I found that Vortex continued to think I had mods enabled until I went to my VirtualInstall folder and edited the VirtualModConfig.xml file.
In the VirtualModConfig.xml file there was an old mod that must be from a previous installation. I deleted this node from the <modList> so that the file showed like this:
"Please disable all mods in NMM"
