Vortex is confused and downloading stuff I don't want.

So I don't have subnautica. Never played it, never bought it on steam. But somehow I look in my downloads and there are six files that I've never seen before and all downloaded in the last five minutes, Three of them were for subnautica. Then I go to extensions and this is also full of enabled extentions for games I don't even have. And I can't even remove them, I can only disable them, and that I can't even do in bulk. I would have to select, one-by-one each extension and remove it. Stardew valley, subnautica, spyro, Vampire the masquerade, xcom, etc. The only ones that have a "Remove" option are Neverwinter nights, devil may cry, Resident evil 2, State of Decay, Subnautica, Subnautica below zero, and Morrowind,

 

Oh, and not only do I have to select these extentions for games I odn't have and remove them one-by-one, but I have to reboot the client each time?

 

Why are these being installed on my computer?

 

Under "Games" it shows fallout VR like it should. But there are 127 games under unmanaged that I don't have.

 

I only have two managed games. Greedfall and Fallout VR. What can I do to restore sanity to Vortex. It wasn't like this before, but I install greedfall and find out Vortex has a few updates, install them, and suddenly I'm getting download bloat.

 

What can I do to fix this? Thank you.

 

Also, If I start greedfall through Vortex. It won't accept input from my xbox controller.

Vortex automatically downloads Extensions, in order to update support for the games that Vortex supports.
It's not a problem, the extensions are supposed to be there.

Why are you removing the extensions?
That's how Vortex supports the games that it does, you're uninstalling functionality for games you might buy in the future, and then you're going to be in here asking why Vortex doesn't support Game X or Game Y, or, How do I download and install and extension for Game X etc.

 

 

The Unmanaged Section is just that, it's showing you all of the games that Vortex supports, and if you ever get those games, then the support is right there for it.

 

If you look at the UNMANAGED Tab, you'll see that the games you don't have are shown in Black and and White.
It just means that if you buy one of those games and manage it, it will turn to a Color Thumbnail and move to the Managed Section.
