Every time I open Skyrim the launcher downloads mods that I previously subscribed to and gives me a message that says, "Synchronization complete. Some mods that were unsubcribed were subscribed to and loaded".

For all of these mods, I have (a) checked that I'm not subscribed to that mod on the Steam Workshop and (b) checked I don't have the mod file in my skyrim data folder. I can delete everything in the Data Files tab, unsubcribe from everything at the same time, go to the website and check I am subscribed to nothing, and the next time I open Skyrim it redownloads all the mods I don't want.

I removed all my mods as well. And get the same thing as you. Blame Steam I guess? – One-One Nov 13 '12 at 2:17
A workaround can be to just use the checkboxes to prevent mods you don't want from loading, but that's clunky and irritating. – victoriah Nov 13 '12 at 3:05
Not to mention unreliable, since some mods don't need/have .esp files to work. – kotekzot Nov 13 '12 at 3:23

  1. Click on "Play" in Steam, and load the main menu.
  2. Click on Data Files.
  3. Highlight the mod that you have unsubscribed to. The background should be blue when it is highlighted.
  4. Click the "Delete Selected" button in the bottom left corner.
  5. A window will pop up asking you to confirm the deletion of the mod and associated files. Click "Yes to delete the mod.

The point is that this method doesn't work. When the game is restarted all of the files are redownloaded. Read the second paragraph of my post. – victoriah Nov 27 '12 at 18:45
