I get an exception error (I think that's what it'd be called. I closed it and used another program to clean my mod directory to get the game working again, so don't want to risk testing it again for the sake of my game now working) every time I try to use this. It worked the first time, but I realized something and canceled it.
Not sure what the issue could be. It worked great before! Figured you'd want to know.
I have so much junk in my folder that your program freezes every time I try to use it. At this rate it would be quicker to reinstall.
I'm afraid that my skyrim installation is terminal.
RIP Skyrim Installation #2. This time I reached 136 mods before it exploded. It was a simple texture override and a reset of my archive invalidation that killed this install. After that, everything stopped working at once.
Thanks for this, I guess on my most recent install of Skyrim I used the olde nexus mod manager for a week before switching to the new Mod Manager app, thus there was lots of cruft hanging around giving odd issues, this was a perfect tool to sort it out quickly and painlessly, Cheers!
Hi Nixsy. I just ran the cleaner again .. this time on a heavily modded skyrim folder .. the cleaner does not seem to be doing anything with the folders this time. Also .. it deleted the dlc bsa files again. It didn't touch the esm files nor the skyrim bsa's, high res pack bsa's, update bsa. They are all there. But hearthfires, dragonborn and dawnguard bsa's have been deleted. Does the app need time to clean up the subdirectories?
Edit: Okay .. I think it is just taking a long time to recurse thru the directories. I removed about half of them that I knew had nothing original in them and ran the cleaner again and started noticing things starting to go away.Just checked the size of my data directory and realized it was 30 gig big
You should really get the Guys who run the STEP project on board with this tool. This would have saved me hours of work cleaning out my horrendous Skyrim folder (hadn't cleaned it since it first came out! ). Thank you for your hard work
hey wait what, in the image it sais: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Select your *Skyrim* folder [...] | |Only select your *Fallout 4* directory. eg. D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\*Skyrim*| |This Tool will break stuff if used on another directory | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- erm.. Fo4? xD
Heh I made the tool for Fallout 4 first then was asked to port it to skyrim, I missed one of the fallout 4 references when i took the screenshot =/ go figure
hmm just checked :o even have timestamps added make a checkbox to have the folder copied/moved to desktop? otherwise the simpliest solution woud be getting the contents with 'dir'?
or maybe just a message that suggests moving the tesvedit backup folder elswhere, before running your tool should do the trick too. anyway, you arent responsible for people not making backups
I could check if the folder exists with files then copy it to the windows temp folder, perform clean then move it all back. doing this would also imply that TES5Edit binary should be kept too?
[Edit] Do all of the backup files match this file format? 2016_01_31_19_45_45
I can match this extension with regex. [0-9]{4}_[0-9]{2}_[0-9]{2}_[0-9]{2}_[0-9]{2}_[0-9]{2}
Don't know about the TESVEdit binary, i honestly never even got the idea to put it into the Skyrim folder. Just tested your 1.1 with single and multiple files in the TESVEdit folder. Works just fine Good job and thx :o)

Simple, easy, quick, and time saving. It refreshes everything back to square 1. Thank you for this tool!

thanks for the tool!
[Edit] Updated image in op =)
The only thing i would change is, that it makes exception of the 'TES5Edit Backups' directory and its contents.
