Can I safely uninstall Skyrim?
I am having alot of trouble with Skyrim and would like to do a clean install but I would like to know a few things.

1. I downloaded Skyrim from Gamestop.com, if I uninstalled it would I need to pay again?

2. How EXACTLY do I uninstall Skyrim safely along with subscribed mods here and downloaded from Nexus?

3. Can I just reset all my Skyrim folders or do I have to uninstall Skyrim and reinstall it?

Thank you for your time.

1. No, you don't have to pay again.
2. Steam Workshop mods should start downloading when you start up the game the first time once it's installed. Nexus mods you may have to re-apply, depending on whether it replaces any files. (Deleting files via Steam doesn't remove the mod files.)

3. Personally, upon launching Skyrim, I'd go under [Data Files], disable the mods and see if it works. If it does, I'd start enabling the mods one by one and see where it stops working.

I know the source I just can't figure out how to uninstall it correctly.

The FNIS PCEA2 MCM menu said "errors when loading up FNIS PCEA2" so I tried uninstalling it but I got the t pose so I reinstalled it and still got the t pose and now no matter what I do everyone has the ♥♥♥♥♥♥' t pose.

To uninstall Skyrim, rightclick it in Steam, click "Delete local game content".

Also, will my DLCs reinstall with Skyrim? I bought the Legendary Edition from GameStop.com.

Stop worshipping Gamestop. The only thing that matters is Steam. When you register something on Steam, it's yours and will remain yours as long as you log into the same Steam account.

After you add the key to Steam, Gamestop is irrelevant.

Follow ReBoots instructions to uninstall the game. You may also want to delete the Skyrim folder in your Steamapp/common folder, as well as the Documents/MyGame/Skyrim folder.

I'm not worshipping GameStop bro. It's just that with how things go out for me I'd rather be the one who says too much than too little.

So let's get this straight, if I uninstall then reinstall Skyrim I'll be able to keep my DLCs?
