Cannot remove mods and game crashes on start.

Hello, me and a friend decided to add some more mods to our game. We added a bunch of mods from Bobingabout. I restarted my game but it crashed instantly saying : "Duplicate mod boblogistics" This mean I have it twice, right? Well apparently, I don't have mods at all since there's nothing in my "mods" file.. So my game crashes because of a mod I can't remove. I tried uninstal/instal again, but it didn't work. I don't know what to do :/

Did you delete the mods folder from your app data folder? I think the folder in programs (or steam) only has a shortcut to the app data mod folder

I have a different problem. My game crashes when it tries to load a mod I don't have on my PC. The game says there is an error in the assignID, stating an item subgroup doesn't exist. I cant play the game anymore and un/installing the game does nothing.

That means there's still a mod you have installed that's missing other mods it needs or the mod is simply incompatible with the version of the game you're running.
If you update to the latest version of the game it prompts during such errors asking if you want to disable the erroring mod. Or, you can browse to the %appdata%\factorio\mods folder and delete everything in it.

Is this a supported feature now? Because I have a bunch of test cases where it doesn't work.
