Have (and use) MO2. Thought I'd test Vortex. Imported mods from MO2. Bad choice.

Now my MO2 has "_folder_managed_by_vortex" all over it!!! I WANT MY FOLDERS BACK! My goal was to test them in parallel... Vortex put paid to that idea...

 

OK, what's the easiest way to reverse this process?

Whatever you did, you really messed up your install, and it really has nothing to do with vortex.

 

As you said, "My goal was to test them in parallel..."

So yea, I agree, Bad Choice, but it's not the fault of MO2 or Vortex, this was you running a Mod Manager that uses a "Virtual File System" and installing and trying to use a Mod Manager that uses a Different File System.

Yep. I agree, Bad choice on my part. And thanks to your wonderful Vortex Support, the name vortex will never taint my PC ever again.

I don't know that "vortex support" can assist you, this is 100% PEBCAK.

You made a backup before you did this, didn't you? So, in the name of Vortex support, simply restore from your backup and you'll be golden.

_folder_managed_by_vortex is a text file. read it.

Good, now we can get on to helping people who actually have a problem with Vortex, instead of people who purposely screw up their installations and decide to blame Vortex for their ineptitude.
