Even uninstalling via Steam does not remove these mod folders. I know...weird The mods are FNIS, RealVison ENB, and a couple weapon tweaks Honestly, Ive watched several tutorials and none of the techniques brought me to a resolution. I shouldnt have to just restore my PC whenever i have folders I cant delete The question is, where does this come from. I have recently received several FNIS reports of users with access and permission problems. It's not clear what is causing the increase of such reports. But you should consider this: Which Mod Manager do you use? Both NMM and MO seem to be fragile about that. But especially the NMM developer has admitted unexplainable issues. Windows Version: Windows 10 seems to have caused additional problems with new UAC issues Installation Directory: NEVER EVER use "C:\Program Files(x86)" for modding purposes. Admin rights don't help you, when UAC (User account control) messes with your privilegdes.Consequence: Move Steam, Skyrim, FNIS, ... to C:\Games or wherever. Don't let it be installed under C:\Program Files(x86). I really appreciate your response! So I use NMM on Windows 10 64-bit I have managed to delete the files in Safe Mode, but its going to happen again so I need to figure something out. Though, I am grateful for being able to delete them in Safe Mode instead of restoring my PC. Also, yes, my Data files are in Program Files (x86). I'll change their location and see if it helps. I will have to do that the next time Im forced to vanilla restore Skyrim. which will be today. I cant currently move the folder as I dont have permission. haha
