So I decided to painstakingly go through every mod and remove it one at a time manually. About a third of them are mine so I'm going to start there, then move down the list of mods that are in the original vortex installed mods folder and work from there. I have plenty of space on my external 3tb to make an archive of them for re installment. Once I've reached the manually purged state. I'll install Vortex and then move forward.
I appreciate your suggestion and know it might work but I only have one external Drive case and I've installed and reinstalled my terabyte drives so often in this process gleaning data, I feel one more time and I may lose the the priority drive if I do it again.
So onward and I certainly appreciate you're help Showler!
