how to delete an item?

[The Aegis]

I have a few items in my inventory that i don want, how do i delete them.

[alexander_dougherty]

Go outside, drop them, they will disappear eventually.

Only exception is quest items, which generally speaking you don't want to get rid of. You can't drop them, unless you use the console command player.dropitem, but you need the itemid for that. The problem here is that quest items will not respawn, so if you get rid of them, the quest is ruined.

make the command (disable in console by selecting the object) sorry my english is so bad ;'(

Disable is not a good way to remove items from the game. The item / npc are still there and being loaded by the game. First post is best, either drop the item or stick them in a barrel or chest somewhere.

['Tis but a scratch]

If they're in your inventory and you just want to get them out of your inventory, then select the item and press R. If you have an item on the floor and want it to disappear, then open the console with ~ button (under Esc), click on the item, type in "markfordelete" and press Enter, then type in "disable" and press Enter. When you change your location and go back there, it will be gone. However, a safer way to do it would just be to go in the middle of nowhere, put the item in some bush and forget about it.

Sell them to a merchant or drop the items into a respawnable container.

what if i have like 1000 of them on the floor, and no they are not despawning like the first reply said, 40h into the game and i still find them where they were dropped

Easy trick: Kill a bandit / random hostile NPC or creature in the open world (not in cities) and place your disposable items in their inventory afterwards.

Sounds like you're in a house or someplace internal. Go outside and drop items and then don't return to that cell again for 72 game hours.

But the easiest way is to drop them into a respawnable container and eventually they will disappear when the container respawns.

Disabling and marking for delete via console is NOT a very bright idea unless you want to screw up your play through. But it does depend on what you're disabling and deleting...

There are a lot of bad answers to the original question and when you ask a new one you get differnt responses whoch can go off topic of the original post, just like the posts we are making right now.

The person who necroed should have made there own post is all I'm saying, and im going to stop posting more off topic stuff in this thread.

Lastly if anyone does manage to find this, the best solution to get rid of unwanted items is to sell them to a shopkeeper, they can take anything you don't want off your hands and when their inventory resets it's gone.

i do not care how old a post is, all this "post was archived and you cant reply" is the worst thing any human has ever invented, if the old solutions dont work imma ask for new ones and your solution is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if i have no way of collecting the thousands of items spread around the world.

Your problem is different from OP, therefore you need to make your own thread, posts that do not relate to the OPs question are considered spam, which is against the rules. I answered the original question, you want a solution to whatever you did to screw your own game over then start your own thread.

Somebody who doesn't own the game on steam, necros a 6 year dead thread and asked a different question doesn't paint you in a very positive light, I'm done with this thread and you.
