IndubitablyARobot Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 so i f*#@ed up, goofed on unanst and had to nuke the files manualy. anyway, my dumb ass didnt use the uninstall program and deleted it along with the rest of the folder, nuked black tree, and went file by file through everything labeled vortex, anyway im sure i missed something, because when i try to reinstall, it errors. first by saying that vortex is running and cant be closed["vortex cannot be closed. Please close it manually and click retry to continue"](i cant find it in task or programs) then when i retry it cannot find blacktree because i nuked it, and the install fails because it cant open/write black tree gaming ltd/vortex/uninstallvortex.exe, because i nuked that folder when i wiped vortex from my system, am i missing something, why is does vortex think it is running?

rmm200 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 If it were me, I would:1) Reboot my computer2) Download Vortex from https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex/3) Run the installer as privileged (privileged not normally necessary, but it sounds like you messed up permissions) Given what you have done so far, I hesitate to recommend editing the registry and deleting Vortex registry entries. Editing the registry can cause you real problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same problem but I manage to uninstall it properly. Just go to file explorer, type in vortex in the search bar, right click on the vortex shortcut, open file location, then double click the uninstall exe.

showler Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hard to do when you've "deleted it along with the rest of the folder". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
