If I uninstall Gmod, I will lose all my addons?

Title says it all.

If you delete GMod entirely, you will redownload all subscribed to addons.
Note, this means that you must delete the folder manually under steamapps/common/garrys mod/garrysmod
Deleting it under steam will not delete the entire game, just the base files.

OK,and one more question: If I delete all the addons in the addons' folder,I'm not going to be subscribed to those addons anymore?

[Global]

You will still be subscribed to them. To unsubscribe the fast way goto the workshop button under Garry's Mod, click subscribed items. Then, click unsubscribe on addons, refresh, then unsubscribe till you get a list of addons that you want to keep. Just go to page 2 and continue.

Thanks,I already unsubscribed to all my addons and now I'm going to delete all the addons on the folder,next time I will pay more attention and use all my addons.

If you want, I can give you a list of essential addons I use everyday

[SomeOven]

That could help me.

NPC Tools, Hit Numbers, HL2 Settings, Weight, Buoyancy, and some map icon packs.

Yes

if i copied file of addons and reinstall garry's mod and past addon files again will it save my addons files and i wont need to download it again ????

[pussface]

Yes

[Nickztape]

If i delete garrys mod does that mean that i have to buy it again?

[Global]

Nope, it's permanently tied to your account. You can re-download it anytime from your Steam Library.

Hi there i might be of help...
There is a way to uninstall gmod without losing your addons or saves or dupes!
Simply go to your program files and locate the "Valve' or "Steam" folder. once you do that, scroll down and find a folder named "SteamApps". then click the folder "common" then ''garrysmod" then inside the garrysmod folder there should be another folder that has the name garrysmod in there. then copy the addons folder to your desktop then once you uninstall gmod repeat the process. once you go back to your garrysmod folder move your addons folder to the garrysmod folder and done!
Hope this helps!
