Originally Nexus user Morrocookie posted this in the Nexus MO forum. So that this discussion will not get buried on the nexus forums I created the question here and will respond to it here. His initial question was how he could use NMM in combination with 'download with manager' again, but he has given MO another go.
Actually, after taking some time to learn my way around the program, I've seen its superiority to NMM and am now using it as my main modding program. Although, I do have a question, is there a way to delete a data file in the mod organizer? I'm having a conflicting LOD issue and from what I've read online the only way to solve it is to delete the file. Though I can't see how to manage this since the mod files aren't actually located in the Skyrim install and I haven't been able to find a way to delete them from the data tab of my mod profile.
Not sure if you really have to delete the file. Please have a look at 'left pane' and 'priorities' tab in the MO wiki because you can rearrange your install order and priorities. If it turns out you have to 'remove the file' from Skyrim you have two options with the MO UI.
From the wiki: The "Information" dialog box for any mod may be accessed by either double-clicking the mod or via the context menu. Select tab 'filetree' and navigate to the LOD file you need. Now you have two options:
Right click and select delete.
Right click and select 'hide'. It
In both cases for Skyrim the files has been 'removed' from the game. Option 2 has the possibility to 'restore' the file. see below.
In MO a mod is nothing more then a directory in the /mods directory. See advanced tab, section "the virtual filing system". If you want to change a mod in this case delete a file either select a mod, right click and select open in explorer or use the windows explorer to go to the /mods/modname directory.
Unhide a file. I could have sworn I did create an article for it but can't find it back. The UI of MO atm have a way of finding 'hidden' files. When you hide a file it gets the extension .mohidden. To find hidden files go to the /mods directory and search for files with that extension. You can undhide a file by removing the .mohidden extension.
