Tannin42 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Purge only removes what Vortex added/createdIf there was a meshes folder before Vortex deployed files or if you manually or through a foreign tool added additional files to the meshes folder, Vortex will not clean it up because that would mean deleting files Vortex doesn't know anything about.Also if you delete the "__folder_managed_by_vortex" file, Vortex no longer knows that it initially created the directory. If there is the __folder_managed_by_vortex file and nothing else in meshes, Vortex will clean it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zed140 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi, thank for your reply. In fact, this is more information than a question. I Never added manualy and never installed mods out of vortex. That not the first time I see the mesh folder staying with 800mb of my mods in after a purge.

Tannin42 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Are you sure you didn't run some tool that might have added data to the meshes folder? Something like DynDOLOD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zed140 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think I have understanded why he do not remove folders like meshes. These folders are full of .tri files. I think, they are generated when you check morph in bodyslide, or when you add key in mcm for the mcm folder,Or when you modify values in f4se plugins, ect... These files are not directly under the control of vortex then he do not remove them when you purge.Vortex purge just the file that are already present in his know database. It is not a pure purge finaly, this why we have to remove these folders manualy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zed140 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Also replacing the word remove by uninstall when selecting multiple mod in mods tab can be less confusing. Same in the next open window when clicking remove. Using same words for the same thing in all windows seem me less confusing, but it's not very important.
