Guest deleted34304850 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 honestly, you've given so little information that it's not possible to answer your question.i really don't know what you've done, what you're trying to do, and what you've read.unless you step up with more information, you're not going to get a good answer.

HadToRegister Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Vortex shouldn't be creating a temp folder, but with what little information you've given, we can only guess what's happening.What is the complete path to Fallout New Vegas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Well, using google (Which it looks like where you copied that Red line from... THIS APPLIES TO ALL MOD MANAGERS - FOMM, NMM, MO, and etcI am posting this just in case anyone runs into "A Problem Occurred During Install: The File Exists" and wants to save themselves from anger, frustration, grief, Nuking/Gecking (Uninstalling/Reinstalling) their game a few times, and the Dark Side. Of course, hopefully they search the forums before doing anything drastic.The fix is to clear out this directory ...c:\users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp You probably can use Accessories > Systems Tools > Disk Cleanup. If you do it yourself, it is a hidden file and will need to unhide it. And if you know all of this, then this is for the ones that don't or not thinking it is the cause.So, you're copying and pasting from the article that tells you how to fix your problem, so why ask here?I'm confused, it seems you already have your answer. Open File Explorer, click on "This PC" in the left pane.Right click on the C:\ drive select PROPERTIES------> TOOLS---->DISK CLEANUP---->Select TEMPORARY FILES click OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
