Purging Mods: Vortex Mod Manager [Question]
Hey there, it's been a while since I did some serious modding. In the past whenever I started a new playthrough I'd have to take some steps in order to clear Fallout 4 itself of all my mods AND ensure that they don't appear in Nexus Mod Manager in either an installed or uninstalled capacity.

I'm still a bit of a novice with Vortex however, so I apologize if this question was already asked previously. Is there an easier way to completely clear a game profile of installed and uninstalled mods, or do I have to do all of that one-by-one like I did previously? (I think..) Thanks in advance.

Vortex is about 100 times easier than NMM. Just click the "profile" you created for the game and within that you can manage mods. Click the mod to uninstall and you can click delete archive to completely remove it from the install folders. It's so much easier now. Just mess around with the settings a bit you'll figure it out quickly.

If you use multiple profiles removing a mod completely will remove it from all profiles however if simply uninstall but leave the archive it should remain in the other profiles.

The purge/deploy functions simply remove or add the files to the game for the currant profile unless disabled or removed the mods will still deploy the next time the deploy function is done.

I saw if you want to remove mods from vortex,
hold Ctrl + click on each mod or some thing like that or CTRL + A
