im so lost with Skyrim

[bearzap34]

So I'm not sure what's wrong but I'll do my best to describe what I did.

Bought and downloaded skyrim anniversary from steam

Used nexus/vortex to download a few mods which caused a disk write error when launching from steam

Some how not able to verify integrity of game files

Tried to install SKSE (script extender)

Downloaded the wrong version(s) of it multiple times

Received multiple error messages and wouldn't launch through vortex

Deleted everything/unistalled on steam and "stopped" managing the game

Still won't launch from steam and for whatever reason I am still unable to verify game files through steam

It will launch through vortex, but it won't play. Crashes when I go to start a new game

There were never any saved game files as I took to this process immediately after installing the game and I am completely lost on how to fix the issue and it's too non descript and too specific for a Google search.

What do I do?

First of all, get Vortex and SKSE out of the picture.

Open Vortex and on the Skyrim SE mod page find the Purge button. Click it and wait for finish.

Uninstall SKSE. Delete the archive.

Close Vortex and leave it closed until you get Skyrim working.

Open Steam to the library page. Find Skyrim SE (AE).

Right mouse button on Skyrim and select Properties.

Select Local Files and choose Verify integrity of game files.

Try running Skyrim from Steam. Report back.

Also report how your game disk is formatted, and if you did an error scan.

what archives am i supposed to delete? ive already uninstalled SKSE and when you "unmanage" things from vortex it deletes all mods so im not sure what im supposed to purge exactly. (also thank you so much for even trying this problem is so beyond me)

Just stop on the Vortex step and move on to validating Skyrim through Steam.
