How to delete Mods without being in game

[Ssnakes_Everywhere]

So factorio wont load for me right now because of my mods, so is there any way to get rid of the mods without being in the game

[Highscreen]

press windows key+ r

%appdata%\factorio\mods

delete the fail mod D:

[impetus_maximus]

MacOSX:

~/Library/Application Support/factorio

Linux distributions:

~/.factorio

Yes, click the "disable mod" button on the error screen.

If you don't get an error screen then file a bug report.

Not like that, I mean the game will not load at all, as in it gets stuck at 3%

You can also simply disable mods without deleting them by opening 'mod-list.json' and setting everything other than 'base' to disabled.

Therefore, "If you don't get an error screen then file a bug report."

Thing is, that shouldn't be happening -- if there's a problematic mod that blocks the game from loading, it should be detected and give you an option to disable it.

If you disable the problematic mod manually, it helps you, this one time. If you report it, it turns out to be a bug, and devs manage to fix whatever stops the error screen from appearing, it helps you and everyone else forever after.
