Game location doesn't exist or isn't writeable- Fallout New Vegas

[OverGransen]

I wanted to try New vegas w mods after playing around 19 hours, I re-installed it, downloaded and installed NVSE, plus  the 4gb patch and then Visual C++  and the Vortex mod manager.
I restarted my computer (an old alienware-17 r3 I got almost a decade ago) and started the mod manager when this message popped up when I wanted to manage New Vegas. 


I'm not mod savvy (this is the second time I try to use a moded game ever), so any help is welcomed.

You can probably just ignore that message and it'll fix itself. The path looks correct.

I started my pc today, now this error is coming up. 
Seems I got a 1 in my luck.

You've somehow got a folder at

C:\Users\thebi\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\falloutnv\mods\__vortex_staging_folder

This isn't something Vortex would do itself.

Go to that folder and delete the folder mentioned above. This will fix your issue

Thank you very much
I did as you said, then this error appeared:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\Users\thebi\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\falloutnv\mods\__vortex_staging_folder'


Should I let it be?

You need to click "Browse" and set a new mod staging folder. Hopefully, you did not delete the entire "mods" folder from that path. That would be the default folder to use. Just select that folder
