DCS OB - Official Package Contents? (unwanted files)

[Dunx]

I am a Steam OB user.

Steam allows verification of game files but does not remove unofficial files.

Is there a way to identify unofficial files in the DCS game folders without a complete reinstall?

Sorry I am not sure, I always assumed verify game files did remove unwanted files. 

If it does not you will need to ensure any unofficial mod or edit is removed manually before doing a verify

Oh my bad. Then the most sure thing is to do a complete uninstall, manually deleting any leftovers.

And mandatory usage of OVGME or some other mod manager after cleanup.

Thank you guys.

My concern is that Steam does not remove files officially removed by ED.

The only mod I use is fholger's OpenVR_mod, which I remove/test/replace after each OB update.

Doesnt ED update their package on Steam to reflect this?

The verification feature does NOT remove files.

No but if ED put up a new patch doesnt that process do it? In the same way a patch from the DCS server for a non steam user may?

The OB update does not remove files either.

Ah ok. Ive always just blindly updated and repaired (non steam) Ive never seen anything but user and mod files moved to back ups. Id always assumed an update may add or modify something. Never considered it would take something away.
