But there is no option to delete a zip from mod protal if it is the only one remaining.

Maybe upload only a zip file with info.json and without other code and delete the previous mod file as workaround.

It's still not possible to delete mods.
It's only allowed to delete older versions.
So i'am forced to make a empty or old .json + *.zip and delete the other zips or what ?

I had this problem also last year for a season-mod ... i wanted to removed it after the event-time.
I deleted the current versions and hope nobody use the 0.13 versions or fork them.

I want remove:
- Yuoki Industries - Profit from War (obsolete)
- YI - Helloween 2016 (Helloween 2016 is clearly over)

Oh how sad.
I still use the Halloween mod because I like the lamps.

You should not remove Factorio mod content simply because "it's not the season for it"...

If he created the mod, he can do whatever he wants with it.

I know, I'm just exhorting him to be less restrictive.

Haha,
It would be much better if you didn't delete it, but instead just uploaded an "empty" mod. Then next year, re-enable it. With mod auto-updates enabled you could have the halloween stuff just appear for 3-4 days :D

Or make a season mod which can be changed as much as the author like and the users don't have to install a new mod every season.

This doesn't belong in this thread or forum section, this thread is about removing mods from the mod portal website.

Mods that you downloaded from the in-game mod browser are saved in the same location as manually installed mods, the %appdata%\Factorio\mods folder. Delete the complete mods folder and see if that helps. If you still can't start your game then make a new thread in Technical Help and include your log file.
