DonQuixoteIII Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I made a download folder, then decided to add a sub folder. Turns out that the sub folder is unnecessary. But now, how do I delete the sub folder? If I go into settings and try to change it there, Vortex tells me that I can't because it is not empty. If i go into the actual folder and delete the sub folder, THEN go into settings, Vortex STILL says the sub folder is there.If I completely remove the main folder, uninstall Vortex then re-install Vortex, IT ADDS THE MAIN FOLDER, COMPLETE WITH SUB FOLDER BACK ON MY DRIVE!!! It is like Vortex is a virus that has infected my machine with folders it wants, to be where it wants them to be. It should NOT be THIS HARD!!!

Guest deleted34304850 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 it isnt "this" hard. its very easy. dont blame the tool, blame the workman.you dont need to uninstall anything - i mean why would you even think that?go to settingsgo to downloadsset your download folder - no subfolders - so have something like E:\downloads done.no uninstall, no reinstall, just a simple setting.

Pickysaurus Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Electron (the underlying tech Vortex uses) seems to cache a list of files in folders it has visited lately. Try closing the app and reopening it before setting the folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Just change your download folder to a new completely empty folder, then delete the old folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
