Title: Clean SMF install back?
Post by: larry007 on December 19, 2016, 12:09:18 PM
Hallo

One question, how can I do this? I want maybe in future a clean existing SMF. The problem is, I have 19 mods installed.
When I deinstall all mods, do I have a clean SMF like first day? Or do I have files that could not read correct back?

THX

Hello!

I don't think all files and codes are correctly removed after uninstalling a Mod, so your best choice would be to follow the link Illori left you.

Regards :)

ideally uninstalling a mod should remove all code it has added and all files it has added. not all mods do though.
