Permissions and credits
This only a GUIDE to show you how to delete scripts from specified mod. 
Because some mods has uncountable amount of scripts and this could save your time.



Basically i use windows' Force Delete command by running it with Batch file.
Remember, your deleted file will be permanently deleted.
These steps will work on ANY file with ANY format. You just need to sort them and follow the step. 

For advanced user, you can check Windows DIR Command to see more detailed uses of DIR command.


STEPS : 

Make sure game is closed and disable the mod you want to delete/uninstall.

1. Some mods have lots of scripts, and the worse case is the Author didn't bother with script's name for easy sorting. This time, open your Mod package and extract the scripts to any NEW folder. 


2. It should looks like this


3. Now we're creating the list of your extracted files name
a. Open Command Prompt by clicking it on your Start menu or by pressing Windows+R, then type CMD.
b. And then change directory to your recently extracted Scripts. For this case it's "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Mods\Bash Installers\Scripts" by using command "cd *file Directory" (without quotation marks)
c. Then type "dir /b>List.txt" (without quotation marks)
d. Done ! Now you have a "List.txt" text file with the scripts' name on that Directory



4. Open with Microsoft Word (i'm using this because it has special character treatment). It should looks like this:



5. Use the Replace feature at top right and type:
- "^p" (without the quotation marks) on Find box
- "(space)/f^pdel(space)" (without the quotation marks) on Replace box
- Click replace All. And it should be like this picture.
- Notice that the top line doesn't have "del" on the beginning, you can add it manually
- Save the file



6. Open the List.txt file with notepad and Save As it as a .BAT file by renaming it to List.bat. Don't forget to change the format to All Files.



7. Now you have the main tool to delete your scripts. Just run your recently made batch file at your Directory. And deleting file will began



8. DONE !
