MoD Organizer - Orphaned Script Extension Save Delete Plugin

Orphan Script Expander Save Remover

Mod Organizer plugin removes orphaned script extensions from common saves. Applies to global and profile-specific saves.

why do you want this

SKSE64 has a bug/missing feature where when a game removes autosaves, its co-saves are not deleted, leaving your save directory full of useless extra files. This removes those.

If you have manually deleted some saves but left co-saves, this will be sorted out as well. This works for any game supported by Mod Organizer.

Notice

This is different from SKSE's ClearInvalidRegistrations feature or other save cleaning tools. Annoyingly, there are two similar-sounding issues: orphaned references to deleted scripts in save files, and orphaned co-saves that were not deleted on the main save.

Install

Just place the .py file in the Mod Organizer plugin directory.

usage

Select this plugin from the Mod Organizer tool drop-down list and click OK until done, or read the text that pops up if you wish.

Orphaned Script Extender Save Deleter

Mod Organizer plugin to delete orphaned script extender co-saves. Works with both global and profile-specific saves.

Why you'd want this

SKSE64 has a bug/missing feature where its co-saves do not get deleted when the game deletes autosaves, leaving your saves directory filled with useless extra files. This removes those.

If you've deleted some saves manually but left the co-saves around, this will also tidy those up. This will work with any game Mod Organizer supports.

Note

This doesn't do the same thing as SKSE's ClearInvalidRegistrations feature or other save cleaning tools. Annoyingly, there are two issues which sound similar: orphaned references to removed scripts within save files, and orphaned co-saves which aren't deleted when the main save is.

Installation

Just put the.py file in your Mod Organizer plugins directory.

Usage

Choose this plugin from the Mod Organizer Tools dropdown and click 'Okay' until it's done, reading the text that pops up if you feel like doing that, too.
