cc eye default replacements not deleting even after file is removed

Hi! So, I recently started going through cc eye stuff since with the eye detail section i never updated my cc for eye color. However i've run into the issue where old default replacements wont delete and now i have a massive color list (to the point i can only see two rows of eye shapes!) and even though i deleted the files, the eye colors are still there. I so far have tried deleting the cache, repairing the game and emptying out my recycle bin. None of which has worked. Even the new eye detail stuff isnt showing up in the eye details!

    I had already tried deleting the cache file, as i mentioned above. I also have double checked the location and its going to the right spot for the mods folder.

    @WintersCoven If you edit the Sims, can you get the defaults to go away? I use eye default CC and have never run into them sticking when I remove them to run tests. Another thing to try is a "Save As" on your save.

    @WintersCoven That really sounds like the file isn't actually removed. Try this: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/ You'll still have your old files there to put back in the new folders, but you'll have a true clean start (and a chance to check if that was really the user folder the game was seeing or a duplicate somewhere else). It can also clean out lots of glitching in general.

    Thank you! Sorry things took so long, life threw hands. I had to do a deep dive of the mods folders i had and found some that were named in funky manners and is why i had missed them before. Things are all good now!
