How do I safely remove add-ons / mods?

Hi,

I am currently waiting for the game to update and thought it would be a good time to remove all of my add-ons to restart as close to vanilla as I can.

Am I correct in thinking that it is safe to delete all of the add-ons and SavedVariable .lua files from within their respective folders?

C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns

and

C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables

Also, are there any other files I should remove based on not playing the game for over a year and wanting a clean start, with my old toons.

Many thanks and have fun out there.

    You are correct. Those two folders have them all. You can also delete live\addonsettings.txt to clear out enabled/disabled states of the addons.

    Remove the files when not in the game.

    I've now deleted the old stuff and patiently waiting for the downloads to update the game.

    Bye and have fun out there.
