cant delete .esp?!?


Recommended Posts

Some days ago i was making a small mod (i just changed the stats on an amulet and placed it in my house).

unfortunately, i didnt run the Construction set as administrator (i use windows 7), so now i can not see the .esp file anywhere except in the launcher.

when i search for them in the start bar and i try to copy them to the desktop, i only create short cuts to the .esp.

i also could not find it anywhere in the data folder.

so i deleted the .esp, when it showed up in the search function in the start bar, but it still shows up in my launcher...

 

i also tried bbens reinstall procedure SEVERAL times, cleaned my registry with this program he mentioned, but the .esps are still available, but only in the launcher...

 

here is a picture so you see what i mean:

First, what you are describing should only happen if you install Oblivion in the "Program Files" folder, which is a highly unrecommended action to be taken on Vista.

 

You should be able to find the ESP files in this location:

\Users\(User name)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore

 

If not, try navigating to the folder where your search finds them to be and move or delete them from there.
