Zanderat Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I want to start over. New game, new mods. I could "purge", but that doesn't remove anything. I guess I could ctrl-A and then "disable", but I don't want anything left behind in the staging folder that I am not using. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Rattledagger Posted September 5, 2020 Solution Share Posted September 5, 2020 ctrl+a, choose "Remove" to uninstall all mods. If you also wants to delete the mod-archives choose "Delete archive" in the dialogue that opens-up after choosing Remove on all mods. To be even more extreme, you can also delete all save-games and delete all profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanderat Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 @Rattledagger, thank you! That's it. "Remove" but don't delete the archive should do it. Game was getting over-modded and bloated. Time for a diet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) On Skyrim SE, I have roughly four times as many mods installed as enabled for any given profile.I hate to tell you - but removing mods from your mod staging folder won't help game bloat, save bloat, or performance.The only key is to reduce the number of mods you have enabled for any given profile. And use lots of Profiles.Especially have a base profile that all other profiles can start from, with a tried and proven set of mods for the base.

Zanderat Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 @rmm200, the goal was to easily revert back to vanilla. I wanted to remove from staging, as it is a pointless waste of space to have unused mods taking up disk space there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 OK, good point. That is never my case, as I remove unliked mods as I encounter them.But I do have a pot full of good mods...If what you are removing are mods you will never use - why keep them in Downloads? That is also a waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
