NMM clean install

[Arbiter]

Anyone know the directory of nexus mods? When I delete local content trhough steam and reinstall the nexus mods are still activated, how do I delete every mod?

[Arbiter]

I have mods for other games in NMM that I want to keep, I only want to remove the skyrim mods

you can delete any mod from your Nexus mod manager page you want-just high-light the mod you want to delete then ckick on the RED X

will that remove any trace of the mod though?

I love skyrim, I just want to do a 100% clean reinstall because it's been a while since i've played, and a lot of mods have probably changed significantly. I wasn't nearly as good as modding back then as I am now, and my game folders are really dirty.

You need to uninstall them first, not only delete.

For any of you wondering where NMM keeps all your mods, its c:/games/nexus mod manager/skyrim . deleting that folder will remove all the install data, and mods themself from NMM. Also deleting your skyrim folder in steamapps is important.
Thank you Skynet for the tip.

You can update any and all mods right from your nexus page- just click on the BLUE numbers you see on your Nexus page. BLACK numbers are the mod you have installed and the BLUE numbers are updates to that mod.

how do you uninstall the NMM

How do you uninstall any program on your pc? I mean it has an uninstaller and it pops-up in the programs section of windows

Actually I tried to uninstall from both the computers uninstaller and with its program and it is still there and the uninstall folder is empty so yeah how would you uninstall in that situation?

Uninstall the entire game, then go to the Skyrim folder and delete everything (Except for your saves, if the removal of mods won't ♥♥♥♥ it to kingdom come) then reinstall.

OR, if you're using the mod manager, just uninstall them from there.

It all generally depends on the situation. If you generally want to start clean over, with different mods and you don't seem like returning to old ones... then generally purge install folder, Skyrim folder in documents and Skyrim folder in NMM. However... if you just uninstalled Skyrim at some time and want to return, with same mods you had before... and like me, you had a lot of them installed before, just purge:

/Games/NMM/Skyrim/Install Info
/Games/NMM/Skyrim/Mods/VirtualInstall

it will basically clean all information on whether a mod is installed or not (because well, since it's a clean install, none of them is really installed, just that NMM doesn't know that), whilst keeping your mod files ready to be installed and saving you a lot of time.
