How to Uninstall skins?
Difficulty: Beginner
Category: CS:S > InstallationAuthor(s): swatmat

So I have noticed that lots of people ask in forums, how to uninstall skins/use original skins.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all... Difference between custom models and default/original models are simple: Custom models are "extra" files which change game visualy. Default/original models are files which developers have done. You can't uninstall default files. That is illegal because you EDIT the game. You can only ADD things, not to change or remove things. This makes skins legal. All files which will EDIT game are illegal. Like all .exe files. Skins edit only visualy so developers have accepted it.
Back to point: default files are files which you can't see. You can overwrite them by intalling skins. When uninstalling skins this way I'm teaching you now will delete those files so program can use default files.

When you delete skins, you will only delete custom files which overwrites default files. No default files changed or edited by this way.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Be sure to backup the folders you may want to keep (like maps)

Super easy way to uninstall skins:

1. So your skins are in "cstrike" folder... DELETE it.
When you start Css, game will automaticly create new "cstrike" folder with all original guns and HUD's.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But if you want to uninstall only one (1) skin?
I delete now my AK47 skin:
2. Go to:
cstrike -> materials -> models -> weapons. There should be two (2) folders called "v_models" and "w_models". (see screenshot 1)

First open your "v_models" folder and delete your AK47 files (Usually that folder is named "AK47")

Then jump back to "weapons" folder and open "w_models" folder.
Now search your AK47 folder again and delete it.

When you have done that go back to "cstrike" folder.

Then go to:
models -> weapons. There should be lots of files for different weapons/skins. (see screenshot 2)

Search all AK47 files.
(I highlighted all AK files so take look at screenshot 3)
File names are named "v_rif_ak47" and w_rif_ak47". When you have found all AK files, just delete them.

Last part is to jump back to "cstrike" folder and locate "sound" folder.
Then open "weapons" and again, delete AK47 folder.

When starting game, your ak47 skin should not exist anymore.

Thank you for reading this.
And please send comments.

(This was my first tutorial :D)

What about player skins. I installed a skin for a terror guerrilla and now I can't use any other skins because they all appear checkered.

There's just wrong files in wrong places, so backup your map folder and skins and delete the cstrike folder, then install skins again and move the maps in the maps folder :)

Someone help... i Try deleting cstrike but then it says cannot delete 67a0fb or something like that it is being used by another person or program and im not doing anything, which is in the downloads folder

Make sure you have all programs close which could use one of the files inside the cstrike folders... Like CSS, Steam etc.

I did, I checked all files and deleted the files with M4 in it

There must be something wrong, so if you can't find what is wrong, you should backup your other files from your cstrike folder (maps, other gun skins, sounds...) and then delete the cstrike folder. Then reinstall those backuped files.

And can you take screenshot of the gun ingame?


Never mind I just deleted the Model not the other stuff so I deleted the rest and there the default is there but thanks anyway

No problem :)

What does the error say, and when do you get it?

Posted by Cewre

It is great and all but... when I tried to erase my M4a1, I followed it precisely and bam! I just got an error floating ontop of me and no default gun...



No I started the game and then bought the M4 right it should've been the default instead of my custom skin, insted it was an Error floating above my cursor, the game runs fine but the M4 is just F'd up

I think the problem is in the models folder. Make sure you have deleted all files in your models folder with "m4" in it.
