# Mod Removal

<p class="callout info">In most cases, mods can be removed simply by emptying your "Mods" folder and running the `EternalModInjector.bat` file again.</p>

## Removing Mods

Provided that you followed the "[Mod Loader Installation](https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/beginners-guide-how-to-play-with-mods/page/how-to-install-mods-doom-eternal#bkmrk-step-1---download-th "How to Install Mods (Doom Eternal)")" and "[Playing With Mods](https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/beginners-guide-how-to-play-with-mods/page/how-to-install-mods-doom-eternal#bkmrk-step-2---installatio)" instructions correctly, simply empty the "Mods" folder and run EternalModInjector.bat again.

## **Resetting Backups**

In rare cases, you may end up with mods that are "stuck" in your game files. In such a case, follow these steps to complete remove mods and perform a "clean" reinstallation:

1. Verify/repair your game installation through Steam/Bethesda (for the Microsoft Store version, you may be required to reinstall the game).
2. Open your DOOM Eternal installation directory and find the file called `EternalModInjector Settings.txt`.
3. Use a raw text editor (e.g. Notepad or Notepad++) to open the `EternalModInjector Settings.txt` file, and change the line that says `RESET_BACKUPS=0` to `RESET_BACKUPS=1`. Save the file and close it.
4. Run `EternalModInjector.bat` again. When prompted, press the key to delete your backup files and take new ones.

#### How to Verify/Repair (Steam version)

Right-click DOOM Eternal in your Steam library, choose "Properties..." &gt; "Local Files" &gt; "Verify Integrity of Game Files...", and wait for Steam to re-download the original resource files. When the download is complete, follow the steps above (starting at #2) to complete the removal of mod files.

#### How to Verify/Repair (Bethesda version)

Open the Bethesda.net Launcher, click on DOOM Eternal's game icon in the launcher, click "Game Options" near the top-right, choose "Scan and Repair", and wait for the Bethesda.net launcher to re-download any non-default files. When the download is complete, follow the steps above (starting at #2) to complete the removal of mod files.

## **How to Uninstall the Modding Tools**

If you want to remove the modding tools, you can simply delete the files from your Doom Eternal directory.

After deleting the files, you must verify/repair your game installation through Steam/Bethesda in order to complete the removal. (If you have the Microsoft Store version, it may be necessary to reinstall the game).
