Uninstall on launcher Not Working

Theres a bunch of CC that I didn't download in my installed content, when I click play without it my game works but otherwise the game doesn't get past the launcher. Every time I press uninstall on those things nothing happens, is there anything I can do to get them out my game?

  • @malanbtlr  Maybe you'll be able to uninstall if you look at the .dbc files (bundled custom content) one at a time.  Use Method by Mell on this page to look at them separately:

    If the items still don't uninstall, then you can remove just the .dbc file(s) that contain them and not the others.  You'd need to reinstall the other content in the file(s), but since you're looking at each file separately, you'll already know which items are going to be affected.  Remember that if you remove one .dbc file, you'll need to rename the others so they're still numbered in sequential order, e.g. if you delete dcdb3.dbc, dcdb4.dbc won't be read by the game unless another file is renamed dcdb3.dbc.

    Method by Mell is also useful in testing your .dbc files one at a time, so you know which ones are fine and which cause the game to stop working again.
