QUICK ANSWER

Remove the same way the Mod was installed: unsubscribe Workshop, follow the Mod's manual UE4SS cleanup, or remove the server entry. Verify a clean launch before reinstalling.

This page keeps platform, version, dependency, and source boundaries visible so a safe test has a clear result.

BEFORE YOU START
01Close the game or stop the server.
02Back up saves and the current server configuration.
03Write down whether the Mod came from Workshop, manual UE4SS, or a server setup.
DO / VERIFY

Follow the smallest useful path.

01

Unsubscribe Workshop items

Do

Use the Workshop unsubscribe flow and remove the Mod from the game's enabled list if needed.

Verify

The item is no longer enabled after the next normal restart.

02

Clean a manual install

Do

Follow the original Mod and loader instructions for confirmed files; do not delete an entire directory by guesswork.

Verify

The game launches with the clean baseline and the loader log no longer shows the removed item.

03

Remove the server entry

Do

Remove the PackageName from ActiveModList and handle the documented Workshop directory, then restart.

Verify

The server starts without the removed project and the config remains valid.

FAQ

Questions this source set can answer.

Can I remove all Mod files at once?

Only when the original instructions identify the exact files. Keep the backup and isolate the change.

When should I reinstall?

First verify the clean game or server baseline; reinstall only after the removal path is understood.

If the current source disagrees with an older tutorial, pause the change and re-check the release, platform, and original Mod page before continuing.
