Can't Unmanage game.

[Degarron]

I'm trying to unmanage game after switching hard drives but I keep getting this error I can't do anything in vortex with the affected games until this is resolved and no I can't plug the drive back in it's completely dead.

Hey @Degarron - can you please start up Vortex so that the error is raised again, and send us your `vortex.log` files which are located in the "%appdata%/vortex" directory. I need to see what error code you're getting so I can ensure Vortex realizes that the HDD is not there anymore.

You have two options to fix this right now.

1. Backup your downloads and delete your %appdata%/vortex folder - this will give you a fresh start but will lose all of your Vortex metadata.

2. Use CLI (CMD/PS prompt) to force Vortex to forget the game's location. Close Vortex, then go to the folder that holds your Vortex executable (by default it's in: "C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex") and run the following command (this is case sensitive so it's really important you copy this command as is)

./Vortex.exe . --del settings.gameMode.discovered.skyrimse

Start Vortex again and it should work just fine. Vortex's metadata will be left as is, minus the known path for the game.

Ok so I tried the first option when I couldn't find the log file T_T turns out I just didn't look hard enough the first time. it initially looked like it fixed it then I got this 


I'll add the New log file here 

I think I really screwed my self by not removing the games from the managed list before it died I knew it was going out but well hindsight is 20 20 and all that T_T

vortex.log
