That's one of 'em. The AppData directory is a hidden directory. You won't find it just using file explorer. but, if you type the full path in windows search, it will open it up. Or, just go to View, and set it to show hidden files/directories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its part of your mods list and your F$SE packages the mods that have "hooked" into your savegames in a F4SE files that companies each modded savegame. I say again you did not need to delete all mods out of Vortex to include F4SE, BUT If you did I can hardly blame you, you likely want to make sure your fresh/clean install is as clean as possible and in any event a reinstall of F4SE is trivial.

The F4Se fields that accompany your modded save game? file? The ones I been asking you if you had saved them with your savegame files out of your Vortex profiles? You definitely must keep those if you want your modded savegames to have a chance at working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoNin1971 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) You should delete (nuke) the entire folder (\this PC\Documents\My Games\Fallout4). Including all the .ini files. Zip it all up first, as backup. (The ONLY folder containing anything related to Fallout 4 on your entire system you do not need to delete, are your saves (\this PC\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\saves) Still it doesn't hurt to remove them and restore them later on. To go for a clean (re)install. (as far as the file system goes, but I'm not aware of relevant registry settings you might need to remove) Only after verifying the game works, "out of the box", you can start restoring/installing mods like F4SE.
