Mod Organizer 2 Removal Tool

Extract `mo2-removal-tool.py` and put the file into your MO2 plugins folder. NOTE: If you were using any version of this tool before 2. 0. 0 you should delete the old version before installing the latest. The file names have changed. Theoretically, this shouldn't break anything but it's best not to take the chance. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Within the plugin settings, you MUST change 'removal-type' to either 'mohidden' (adds ".mohidden" to the end of the file/folder path) or 'delete' (deletes the files from your filesystem). Otherwise, the tool will NOT run. This is to ensure you do not do something to your files that you aren't expecting. Call it an idiot check ;)

As of version 2. 4. 0, you may also want to enable moving .esps, .esls, esms, etc. to the optional folder by setting 'plugin-optional' to True. This only works with the 'mohidden' mode of operation. See Step 5 below on how to enable that.

• []Extract the contents of the MO2 File Removal Tool archive to the plugins folder.[/]

  []Load Mod Organizer 2 and press the screwdriver and wrench icon.[/]

  []Navigate to the Plugins tab.[/]

  []Scroll down until you find "MO2 Removal Tool".[/]

  []If you want to enable the optional folder for plugins, you can here. In the right-hand box, change plugin-optional to True[/]

  []Read the above blurb directly under "Setup" to fully understand what each type of removal does. Then, in the right-hand box, change removal-type to mohidden or delete, depending on what you want. Keep in mind if you want to use the optional plugins setting, you must use the mohidden option![/]

  []Click OK.[/]

  Usage

  BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING you must follow the Setup instructions above.

  • []Select the "MO2 Removal Tool" option from the tools menu in the MO2 toolbar.[/]

    []Type the name of the mod you want to remove files/folders from (The last mod in your modlist is selected by default).[/]

    []Type/Paste the paths into the box below the mod selector.[/]

    []Click Run. Another dialog will open.[/]

    []Review the files that will be removed. Any wildcard paths will be expanded to show what files were selected.[/]

    []Click "Remove All" to finalize the deletion. Note that you can also invert the selection to remove everything EXCEPT what you originally entered. THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL. Remember that you CANNOT undo a deletion from this tool, I personally recommend using the "mohidden" option when using this feature.[/]

    []A file will be created in the root folder of the mod to log the removals you made. The file will be called {modName}.{'delete'|'mohidden'}.log
