Mod won't delete

Post by vondeylenfarms »

Just as the title says...I have mods that I delete fine and others that just keep coming back...it's very annoying. Is there a trick here? I'm on console if that helps anyone to help me. One mod I have been deleting for a month straight...

I’m on the PS4 Pro console. If it were me, I’d delete the FS19 game (and seriously consider also deleting all of the FS19 saved game files), then do a ‘database rebuild’ from “Safe mode” (tons of info on the internet going step-by-step through this very simple process that typically doesn’t take very long to do if you’ve never done this before — note that rebuilding the database periodically on the PS4 is highly recommended anyway regardless of any problems, for maintaining better overall performance, like defragmenting a hard drive on a PC regularly), restore licenses, then reinstall FS19 (and any FS19 DLC that you may have purchased). This process (rebuilding the database) is almost 100% sure to guarantee to resolve the problem (this same process goes for problem-solving on the PS4 for almost any situation that’s truly *not* a hardware specific problem). Hope this helps. :)
Happy farming! :)

Right...

You could also throw away your PS4 and buy a new one. I’m pretty sure the mods are then gone as well.


Anyways. It’s a known bug. I have 5 mods that won’t let themselves to be deleted. I’ve had more, but those magically disappeared.

So, either hope they will disappear some day, or just live with it 😄

Yeah I'm definitely not deleting my saved games wish I only have two but we're talking lots and lots of hours on them. And I'll throw away my PS4 when it's dead and I have a PS5 lol I guess if it's a known bug in Giants hasn't fixed it yet and it's probably not going to be fixed...

It's an interesting bug that was already around for FS17, wasnt it? Kinda wondering if it's something Giants related or something else.
I assume people don't use Seasons, unless they say otherwise.

Yeah it happened on 17 also and I think it happens more frequently when you have more than half of your mod storage space full and it starts taking longer to load pages on the modhub.

One thing that might be worth checking is if the mods that won't delete are still activated in any savegames.

If they are I'd suggest trying the following:
- open the savegame where the mods are still active and deactivate the mods before starting the game
- when the sav game has been opened, immediately save again and then quit the career
- try to delete the mod

Some require multiple updates before you can delete them as well.

I will definitely try this. I so not have the mods active in my saved games but they could have been checked and saved prior deleting. I'll let you know

Tried that idea and it still didn't work. The mods I deleted, jhhh s600 as I use the 700 and the lizard biogas plant. Both sit in the section saying it has an update. I update and uninstall they come back. I don't update and uninstall, they come back. I'm only at 45% storage so it's definitely a giants issue here

I have the same problem but i dont let it bother me because in the end we have mods on console. I do recommend rebuilding your database regularly but remember to upload any save data from any games by buying a months ps+ subscription. Also i recommend getting all your mods written down or something because it can be a pain finding all your mods again. Just speaking from experience

You don't need a pc and you don't need a new console. That is just 💩 advice. if the deleted mod is not on the list to activate when starting a game to play its not there. Not taking up memory or anything.
On 17 (before I learned of uninstallling game) I had a bricked mod for over a month before it went away. As for 19 I think I've deleted the game 5 or 6 times because of bricked mods before I learned to ignore them.

I thought the same also but when I uninstall the combine, which is of larger size, the % space goes down? I'm sure anymore...wish giants would answer it but it sounds like it's a known bug and I rather both duplicate more bug reports

I have had to update mods literally dozens of times to get them to uninstall.i thought it was a giants issue server side like it needs a refresh to clear old data.
