SteelRat1962 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hello All, I am trying to uninstall Vortex, the drive where it was installed no longer exists, but Windows thinks it's still there, and won't let me install a new copy. Whenever I try to use the uninstall function under Win 10 apps and features, it tells me the folder doesn't exist, and gives me no other options. Help!

HadToRegister Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Go into your c:\users\YOURNAME\appdata\roaming\ and delete the Vortex directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelRat1962 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that didn't make a difference. Same error. There is an "ignore" option, but clicking that makes Windows search for the file, which is eventually not found. It asks if I want to delete the shortcut, I say yes, then it just goes away. So I try to install Vortex again, and I'm back at the beginning of the maze. No cheese for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm curious, did the drive that Vortex used to be on Fail, or could you have uninstalled vortex BEFORE removing the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelRat1962 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Solved. I was using the one-click install. I switched to custom install location and I'm successfully installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
