Pickysaurus Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 If the game is in the managed tab then you either have it installed or set up a folder that Vortex recognised as the game directory. If you click the menu button on the game tile it will tell you where the game is located and give an option to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickysaurus Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 It will do both. Vortex gives an explanation of what's happening before you confirm the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex gives an explanation of what's happening before you confirm the aI haI have done as you said, the game isn't being managed anymore but it still says that the one mod is active. Does this mean the problem lies somewhere else? Edited June 5, 2023 by SirTomatnik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 If it's unmanaged now I wouldn't worry about it. I would suggest you look at the path Vortex thinks Skyrim is installed to and work out what's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTomatnik Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 I decided to check to where Skyrim SE would normally be isntalled by steam and noticed a bunch files in the Data folder. I'm pretty sure most of this isn't supposed to be here. It's just a lot of random mod files. Esp files, bsa files, etc. and I don't have Skyrim SE installed. I would provide a picture but I coudln't figure out how to attach a picture I haven't previusoly shared. Could this possibly be the cause of the problem? And if so, can I just delete these files?

showler Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 If you ever manually installed mods, or any of your mods dynamically created files, then neither Vortex nor Steam will remove them when you uninstall. So yes, you'd need to delete all those files and folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showler Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 If you've uninstalled Skyrim SE then the install folder for the game and anything in it, including subfolders, should be deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I confusing it with another? also I noticed there's skse related files in this one. I'm really sorry I'm so confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
