[LE] Cleaning up through the Creation Kit

[DaisyMilona]

So I've been trying to make a new Falkreath Sanctuary after it got destroyed during the final quest of the Dark Brotherhood. I prefer adding everything through console commands with the help of the mod 'storage helpers', but there are some things that can only be done through the Creation Kit. I've been trying to remove all the soot and bloodstains which can mostly be found in the beginning of the sanctuary, but whatever I do it won't work. They will not show up in the console (I've probably tried every trick there is by now) and anything covering the stains will only work until the cell is reloaded, so I've turned to the creation kit. There are a lot of things called "TrapOilPermanent" or "DecalBloodSprayGround", but when I try to delete and load it, the changes will either not show up in-game, or the sanctuary will not load at all. Is there anyone out there who knows how I can clean this cell up?

 

For illustration, the things I'm trying to remove:

And an example of the creation kit:

I may be stating the obvious here but have you gone into the CK saved a new esp like mycleanup.esp and then loaded it up as the active file with Skyrim.esm and any DLC of you choice. You then make you changes and save and then ensure mycleanup.esp is in your load order.

Make sure that the save you're using to test is outside the cell and that the cell has been reset. Otherwise you might see objects that were saved in your save game even after you deleted them in the CK.
