Accidently deleting an object from the database and then saving your .esp file before you realize what happened can be a tricky problem to fix. One solution is to load your .esp file but do not set it as active. Then duplicate all your cells and objects. Finally, save your work and you will be prompted to create a new .esp file. You should end up with a .esp file that has all the work you duplicated but does not contain any deletions. | Accidently deleting an object from the database and then saving your .esp file before you realize what happened can be a tricky problem to fix.

Another technique which is more efficient then duplicating everything in many cases, relies upon the fact that « ''if you know what you have modified, then you know what should not be modified'' » (do the following in sequence): | |||
<LI>On the Data window that appears when clicking the open button, select the ESM files dependencies (usually Skyrim.esm and Update.esm), and then your mod set as "Active", but do not click on the "Ok" button yet. | |||
:<LI>Click on the "Details..." button, a "File Details" window will pop-up : this lists all the modifications of your mod. | |||
:<LI>Expand the window to the right so that you see more columns. On the left of the "Offset" column, a hidden column can be noticed because of 2 vertical little bars, so expand the rightmost of these 2 vertical bars to as to expose the "Form ID" column. Click on the column label ("Form ID") so as to sort them out. | |||
:<LI>Look for any object that should NOT be listed and that you know you didn't want to modify : for each one of them, selct then press the "Delete" keyboard key so that the specific modification is marked so that it doesn't get loaded. | |||
:<LI>When you have finished selecting/deleting those objects that shouldn't get modded, click "Close", then on the Data window click "Ok" | |||
:<LI>After the mod has been loaded, click the save button and exit : mod cleaning completed. | |||
