    Hi guys, because of an error loading Nürburgring 24h, I'm trying to uninstall everything related and reinstall. However, with the new UI, it seems the uninstall button does nothing in some cases.

    I start here:
    upload_2020-12-23_16-35-3.png

    Press uninstall and get here:
    upload_2020-12-23_16-35-49.png

    I don't know why two packages, but then I get here:
    upload_2020-12-23_16-36-28.png

    The rFactor2 crash window is the usual one for new UI, I ignore it and the procedure finishes, bringing me (again) here, even after a refresh:
    upload_2020-12-23_16-37-22.png

    With some other packages, it works fine. I don't know why this silently fails for this packages.

    Select old ui from beta tab and uninstall files and then change back to current build and install packages again..

    Hopefully this helps.

    I got the same situation.
    And, when newUI uninstall mod, also deletes the pkgfiles(.rfcmp).
    OldUI could uninstall only (wo/ delete).
    Please fix.

    @jaco and @yashiman What about deleting it manually?
    @jaco In your Case, with the Nurburgring_2018, browse to the Folder
    .....\rFactor 2\Installed\Locations\Nurburgring_2018
    and delete all Subfolders, except of the 2 latest ones (2.16 and 2.17).
    That should do the Job.

    If i'm not wrong, in the last image says that the circuit is used by two mods (OnlyGTENorschilio123 and VRC GTPC NEW).
    If it's the case, you have to uninstall the mods before uninstalling the circuit.

    Hi @lagg , thanks for your answer! It makes sense, although a simple message like "Cannot uninstall due to dependencies" could be really helpful.

    Anyway, since I had quite a few problems since last update, I just reinstalled everything from scratch and didn't port any of my old files to the new installation. I hope such a clean instllation from scratch will be beneficial (and it seems a few of the problems I had are already gone). Next time I'll have that problem I'll try your hint first!
