I updated my version of MO and this seems to have solved itself. Thanks everyone

OK, thanks for your patience. Skyrim.exe is in C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim MO.exe is in C:\Games\ModOrganizer and TESVEdit is in C:\Games\TES5Edit Won't have any time to work o this though until this afternoon. Have a great day everyone!

Thanks all for your replies. This is my second attempt at setting up a stable version (first was partial STEP using NMM) and I was able to successfully clean all esm's then. I was kinda suprised when the save option did not appear on exiting TES5Edit. Yup, still no worky I think so, I am following through to "Undelete and Disable References". I will post my File Paths this afternoon and do some more troubleshooting. Thanks again!

TES5Edit is not giving me the Save window after I clean Update.esm. I am following Gamer Poets video on cleaning the Update.esm file using TES5Edit through Mod Organizer. Everything works fine until I close TES5Edit. I do not get the option to save the cleaned Update, the program just terminates and I am back in MO with LOOT complaining the esm is still dirty. I have tried pressing Control-S as TES5Edit's documentation suggested you could force the Save window to appear but no luck. I suspect I have a very large hole in my understanding of the way MO handles ...well, everything 😞
