Workshop Download cancel

[Mr.Lobowski]

So I was trying to connect to a server the other day and open connection it had 1.2GB of workshop content to download.
I have a slow internet connection and have no time for this, so of course I just alt+tab out.
Now everytime I launch steam this Download automatically starts even if I cancel it in the download Manager.
Anyway to remove it completely from my list?

This file "<your steam library>\steamapps\workshop\appworkshop_222880.acf" has the workshop id's in it. I don't think there is an in game way or steam way to delete this content or stop a dl once in the acf file. So... delete the file? and the folders in "<your steam library>\steamapps\workshop\content\222880"? This will however delete all custom content...

So I just deleted the entire content of my Workshop Folder. The Issue is still there but now there seem to be 2 smaller download which start as soon as Steam is online.
There has to be a better way, I mean what if you decide not to play on a fully moded server but now stuck in a loop if you are unwiling to download the Workshop content.

Does unsubscribing from the workshop item help?

The problem is that this is a Server moded Workshop contant I don't even know what is being downloaded. I just want an option to opt out of it. I just find this really dumb and this probably is only on Day of infamy and Insuregencey

Sorry I didn't understand the problem correctly, good luck getting it fixed.

Got rid of some custom server content, once. It added/replaced some items and sounds, modifying the game files. All I had to do was to verify the game files integrity in the game's properties page. In my case everything was already downloaded, though. Don't know if it'll work for you.

I verified the Game Files. the Issue is seemingly gone for now but in Day of Infamy the Workshop content is back even though I unsubscribed from it.

I don't have DoI installed right now so I can't verify this, but I'll give you the layout for Insurgency in hope that they're similar enough for this to work.

Go to the DoI folder in "SteamLibrary > steamapps > common" on your PC and see if there's any file called "state_workshop.txt". That text document lists the workshop content active in your game. Each mod should have a numerical ID and a description. Search for the number of the mod you want to remove in "SteamLibrary > steamapps > workshop > content" and it should get you to the folder containing that mod. Delete it.
If you've already unsubscribed from that item in Steam's workshop, it should be gone for good.
