how do I solve an error message that says I have multiple installs of the game when I only have one

the mod manager is saying i have 2 installs of the game even though I only have the one, to answer a few question ahead of time, I have an external drive and have checked it for any satisfactory files and there are none. any help would be appreciated, I recently reinstalled the game after uninstalling it to save some space. edit to clarify, I do not have any mods installed and am just wondering how to solve this

You cant play with mods on 1.0 yet!

If you're trying to launch the game without mods:

1.0 has renamed the game target, preventing SMM from being able to automatically uninstall mods for you.
1. To manually turn off mods, delete the

FactoryGame/Mods

FactoryGame/Mods

folder from your game install directory manually. Here's how to find the game install directory: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_GameInstall
- Even after you do this, SMM still won't work, and you will still get the "folder that does not exist" error message! You have to launch the game from Epic/Steam for now. Close SMM and don't use it again until we announce that mods are updated.
- If you have issues launching the game after this, also delete the

FactoryGame/Plugins

FactoryGame/Plugins

folder, then verify your game files to restore it: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#_how_do_i_verify_my_game_files
- If you're still having issues, post the next error you get!
