Mods that will not uninstall?


Windows


Steam

What is your game version?
235,636

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I started having a problem with a ship being locked to a landing pad, even though it left the planet I could not use nor delete the landing pad at all. I decided that maybe a mod was messing things up and I went to Steam and unsubscribed every single mod I have so that there is none linked to the game.

I go to start up the game and to be on the safe side before actually going in, I check the mod list and they are all still there in GREEN and all of them are checked even though I unsubscribed all of them.

I went to my My Documents folder and checked the game folder there and deleted EVERYTHING in that folder and started the game again, went to mod manager and THEY ARE STILL THERE!

Gawd........

Ok.. so now I have uninstalled the game and right now waiting for it to reinstall, I'm afraid it's going to show that the mods are still there and I have no idea on how to get rid of them. I only know of 2 folders that SM makes when the game is installed and both of them were completely empty after the uninstall, do you have ANOTHER one HIDDEN someplace else?

Can you replicate the issue?
I will not know until the game is installed again...

Please note that the game version may not be correct as I did not write it down before uninstalling the game, I went back to my last bug report from last week to get the number - also one of my bugs I reported, no one has even said anything about it either...........
 
Update - the version number is correct, below is a screenshot from a freshly installed game and as I said before, I went and unsubscribed to ALL of the mods but as I also said I have no idea on how to uninstall them from the game except to turn them off - you all didn't include that option that I can find........ DUHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Here's a view of the list that showed up when I first started the game and opened the mod manager...

As I said, according to STEAM I am not subscribed to any mods what so ever....

WHERE IN THE HELL ARE THESE FILES BEING KEPT? They're not in the main folder, that was deleted, they are not in the game folder in My Documents as I manually deleted that whole folder........

WHERE ARE THEY??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The ones you manually download are stored in the documents folder. The ones from the workshop are in \steamapps\workshop\content\464920. They should be removed after being unsubbed...

Just to be on the safe side go to https://steamcommunity.com/app/464920/workshop/ then hover your mouse over "Your files" then click subscribed and see if you're definitely unsubbed.

Edit: I just released v2.0 of my library mod today, so if it's updated like yours is then it's likely you are still subscribed.
 
This is what that page said BEFORE I removed the game completely and re-installed it again..

And yet that list STILL persists in the Mod Manager even though both folders were totally wiped from my SSD and also I did a defrag before I reinstalled the game, but once installed and then open the game and mod manager, well you saw the image above.......

%AppData%\Surviving Mars\Mods

When I go to that folder there are 3 items : Local/Local Low/Roaming and I do not see SM in any of those folders

The other one - steamapps.. is it in the same area or in a different location? It's not there either.......

As Jean mentioned; it depends on where your steam depot on that hard drive is. I believe the default is
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\464920
 
Ok, as I said last night, in the app data there is noSM folder at all, i guess I need to start a mission before it appears and for workshop, that particular folder 464920 does not exist. I have other folders for Empyrion but not one for SM, I looked into them all.

As of the time of my post I did one more Uninstall but this time I used a uninstaller program OTHER than Steam, the program I use goes though the registry and all other locations looking for leftovers that the steam uninstaller leaves behind (and for some games there's a TON of registry entries) and once it was complete I did one more reinstall again .. yea.. I think I did 3 or 4 total installs - only about 20 min for me each - and now that list of mods is gone. There was A LOT of registry and files that the Steam uninstaller left behind, I should have taken a screen shot to show ...
