How do I remove a mod properly?

[Lord Scooter]

Hey! I'm working on making an accessory mod, and I'm just about finished, but I ran into an issue with deleting mods:

So the mod I was making was originally just named "testcloak" but I renamed it to "magicpurplecloak" after finishing the sprites.  But now whenever I delete testcloak, it reappears in the mods folder.

I don't know how to get rid of it; if this was modding Skyrim, I could probably figure it out easily, but I don't know how to stop it from reappearing every time I boot up the game.

If anyone could help me figure this out, I would be grateful.  I don't think I missed something in the official modding documentation that spoke about deleting a mod itself.

This sounds like a Steam Cloud syncronizing issue, Steam Cloud is likely automatically restoring the deleted files.
You can try doing this:

1. Launch Cattails: Wildwood Story, leave the game on the main menu. Tab out and find your Mods directory.
2. Delete the mod files you want to delete.
3. Exit Cattails: Wildwood Story.

Alternatively you can disable Steam Cloud for Cattails: Wildwood Story.

Thanks! It worked exactly like you said it would!

I hereby invite you for a day of spending time with my (some number around - give or take a few) 30 barn cats as a reward for your helpfulness. 

The mod is almost done now - I'll be posting it soon.
