Soundguy90 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Yes simple question but i just can't find a way to do it. I tried uninstall search from pc but pc did not find the vortex there i also tried other keywords like nexus. The App itself has nothing about uninstall in the options. The folder where the Vortex is located has no uninstall icon. So how do i get rid of this? Edit: nexus mods wiki has only stated "To remove to Vortex, you will uninstall it from your computer like any other app.See this Microsoft Support article for an example. "But the thing is my pc did not even find vortex its somehow hiding from the uninstall search. Edited January 17, 2023 by Soundguy90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 What version of Windows are you using? It should just be listed as Vortex under "Apps & features". Unless your install is broken somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundguy90 Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 I have windows 10 that i have upgraded from windows 7 to 9 and then 10. I am not pc wizard not sure if this even matter. So lets assume my install is somehow broken what should i do to get Vortex uninstalled? I don't seem to have proplem with anything else than Vortex. i can't find Vortex in Apps and features but the funny thing is i can find the other thing that whos downloaded that is needed for the Vortex "microsoft windows desktop runtime" it's clearly in the Apps and features. I even have 2 of them for some reason. Maybe i installed the Vortex wrong and therefore its not showing in there? So is there any uninstall tool or something i could use that is safe to get rid of Vortex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Try reinstalling Vortex over the top of what you have to repair any installation issues. After that it should be able to be uninstalled as showler described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickysaurus Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 To full reset Vortex you'll need to remove it's folder under %appdata%\Vortex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
