Vortex keeps purging when I download and install a mod

So Vortex purges after every deployment now?
What about if I edit an ESP for a bethesda game using Xedit?
Does the edited ESP get purged and an unedited ESP replace it?
Because I do extensive ESP edits.

It's not quite that terrible. It's purging after every mod installation. It's the opposite of the auto-deploy toggle: deploying after every installation can be turned off, but apparently there's now no toggle for me to prevent it from purging after every installation.

You do understand that what you are experiencing is neither intended nor common for most users, right?

Telling them to put in a toggle for something that's not supposed to be happening is not really helpful.  Do you maybe have some log files showing what's happening? 

I'd love to show my log file to someone. This is what I asked for above.

When a mod is installed, Vortex adds it to the Staging folder. When you remove a mod from Vortex, deployed or not, it is removing it not only from Vortex but also the Staging folder. If the mod(s) has also been deployed, the remove function is removing it from Vortex, the Staging folder and the game. The cycling indicator displays while it is completing this process, regardless of whether it is being removed from the Staging folder or both the game & Staging folder. 

Vortex is doing this to me automatically - with no way to turn it off - and doing it after I install a mod.

I install, wait for it to finish purging, and then re-deploy mods afterward. The worst bit of this is that it adds unnecessary wear to my hard drive!

aaaaaaaaand suddenly now it's no longer auto-purging with me doing nothing but leaving the comptuer on.

GEE IT'S ALMOST LIKE VORTEX IS DOING THINGS IN THE BACKGROUND WITHOUT TELLING US BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM LITERALLY FIXED ITSELF WITHOUT MY DOING ANYTHING.

And now it randomly started to purge all of my mods again.

 

^^This is for anyone who thought I was crazy, and it wasn't auto-purging. It does this *every* time I install a mod, and this time also did it after I uninstalled a mod.

See, the problem is, this thing purges on INSTALL.  Every. single. install.  It also purges for every UNINSTALL, without deployment.  I hit 'remove' on a mod, it purges, I wait for it to finish, I got to the second mod, hit 'Remove' and it purges AGAIN, repeat, repeat, repeat.  If 'Remove' doesn't remove the mod from the staging folder (as it has all the way up to this last update) without purging every. single. time., then this MO is pointless.

This.  Every time.  Install, uninstall, or conflict resolution.

Sounds like experimental "Move Deployment", which needs constant purge to reset/replace links.

Not happening here with the latest beta.

I asked @Nagev about this - as you seem to be the only person having this issue.

As long as they're using Vortex 1.10.6 or above, they have a modType conflict - the only way for us to ensure that the correct conflicting file is deployed, is purge if/when he installs/disables/enables a mod which is part of that conflict.
If they're using anything pre-1.10.6 they needs to update and it will go away.
I think it's more likely to be the latter

Nope. Literally not that at all. I've only ever used Hardlink.

This is installing a *new* mod. EVERY time I install a *new* mod that literally conflicts with nothing else.

My Vortex was also *not* doing this when I first installed and started modding Skyrim just back in December of last year. I could install *hundreds* of mods, sort out the conflicts, etc., and *never* had to worry about Vortex auto-purging after every installation.
