remove mods

[Regular jackoff]

used mods a while back for SP, and uninstalled the game after. now i reinstalled and to my surprise the mod files were still there. i deleted everything that was obviously mod related
and verified the game files but must have missed something because i still get the 'unexpected files' warning when i boot up the game and i can't access online.

i have my copy on the rockstar launcher, not steam. can i fix this without uninstalling and downloading the 120gb all over again?

Turn off cloud sync or whatever it’s called in steam for the game , open the game folder search for overlooked mod files , you may have to delete your save files for the game too , you may also need to do the same for the rock star launcher , the game sees the modded saves and saved state for online so you can’t run the game

If you use windows cloud storage (whatever it’s called) you will probably need to delete the files related to rdr2 too

Yes such as OneDrive for example; do not let it auto backup/restore your users Documents folder. This is where many games will house their config files, shader cache, save game slot files for Single Player; etc.

If you do not need your old Story Mode saved game files; go to these folder and delete everything inside. However doing say may affect other Rockstar Games too such as GTA 4 and 5 so be mindful of that. The Online portion of RDR2 won't be effected as all your user data for that is fetched from the SocialClub services when you enter Red Dead Online (RDO)

Windows/File Explorer
Left hand side...
YourUserName > Documents > delete the whole Rockstar Games folder

WINKEY+R
Type or copy+paste
%localappdata%
Press ENTER or click OK
delete the whole Rockstar Games folder

Ensure you do not have Rockstar Launcher running at all when doing this.

Now right click Rockstar Launcher > Run As Admin
Enter login info and also tick Remember Me + Auto

I'm not sure where Rockstar installs games when they are through the Rockstar Launcher/Store though. Find that folder; can easily do a Search in Windows Files Explorer for RDR2.exe and that'll take you to the right game install folder. Once there, since you redownloaded the whole game, sort the files by date. All the game files should have the same date as per when you downloaded them to your machine. All those other files with old time-stamps should be your left over mod files; delete them.
