How to remove all plugins and start fresh?

[Subsquentual2]

So I haven't touched the Nexus in a long time. I had things to do.

I finally got the time to come back and I figured I would play some Special Edition Skyrim... And I found that nexus mod manager is outdated and this new Vortex has become the mod manager.... That's cool I guess. I needed to redo my mods anyway...

Except a good majority of the plugins of mods that I used before is in Vortex. And I cannot remove them. It's rather disappointing because I want a completely clean slate. No plugins. No mods. Nothing. But I cannot find a 'Remove' option on the plugins tab. Only "Enable" and "Disable"...

 

If I recall correctly Plugins were able to be removed in NMM when one disabled or removed the mod. But in this case with Vortex I have no actual mods that I have installed with it yet. It is taking the plugins from before.

So is there a way to remove these plugins completely so that I may be able to start fresh in Skyrim or will I have to wait for this option to 'Maybe' get implemented into Vortex?

The only reason why I am even bothering with Vortex is because it seems I can no longer add mods to Nexus Mod Manager which is a real shame. I found it worked a lot better than Vortex.

Then continue to use NMM

 

Click on the INSTALL VORTEX button at the top of every page, and scroll down until you see this.

I don't know if NMM works with ESL yet though.

You see I would love to use the NMM. I have the latest version installed however whenever I go to manually add a mod into it, either by dragging and dropping or clicking the Green Plus Button in the mod manager and selecting the desired mod, it no longer seems to add any mods to the nmm. It was because of this reason that I checked to see if there was a newer version available and found Vortex instead :/

And I just told you how to get a newer version of NMM, click the Community Release (Github) link for the newest 065.10 (I think) NMM

As I said... I have the newest version of NMM. 0.65.2 so I know it isn't me needing a newer version of NMM. I have the newest. And I still cannot import mods into it. It was working fine before the release of Vortex. So I'm guessing NMM is really no longer supported.

So I want to remove the plugins from Vortex but there isn't a way to do so from what I am seeing.

Then please tell me why the version I am seeing available for download is 0.65.20.

Last time I checked 2 is a higher number than 1, and generally whenever a software gets updated they move the numbers up.

The installer is even named "0.65.2-4-0-65-2.exe"

So unless the developers decided to do things backwards, 0.65.20 should be newer than 0.65.10. Seeing as there is no download option for that version on the download page. Only 0.65.20 , 0.52.4 , and 0.56.2.

First off, the 2 isn't 20, if it was, it would have a trailing zero, so it's 0.65.2 which is < 0.65.10

 

0.65.1

0.65.2

0.65.3

0.65.4

0.65.5

0.65.6

0.65.7

0.65.8

0.65.9

0.65.10

 

UNDERSTAND NOW?

You're using the OLD version that doesn't support ESLs and Large mods.

And actually I believe at this point you're trolling me, because your "Screenshot" link goes nowhere

 

This is the newest version on Github released Sept 13th

Please clarify. Is your ultimate goal to start afresh with Skyrim SE by removing all leftover mods from the game data folder? Or is to pick up where you left off by adding new mods and updating old ones? If the latter, then uninstall Vortex and continue to use NMM, as HadToRegister has recommended. If your ultimate goal is the former, then things are bit more complicated, given that you want to remove leftover mods. You can come back to this forum for additional help in this case.

Then they should have made it .02 instead of .2 .

The screenshot is what I see when I go to the Download page for NMM on the actual Nexus Page. Which is here: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/4/?tab=files

I find it odd that they would not update the download link on their actual website. But regardless, I made this post for Vortex, and finding a way to remove the plugins listed in it.
