GUIDE: How to UnSub a DELETED Mod
By LowTechRider
ATTENTION! --- This guide is only for users who have a BIT advanced knowledge on their browsers and how they are able to temporarily change the source code of a web page, If you don't fit this condition you may close this guide, google it or ask your personal pc geek.

PLEASE RECONSIDER THAT THIS IS A GUIDE FOR MODS DELETED FROM THE WORKSHOP, IN THIS CASE THE MOD IS COMPLETELY GONE FROM THE WORKSHOP, THE ONLY TRACE IS IN YOUR PROFILE STORED ON THE STEAM SERVERS, WHICH CAN ONLY BE SEEN WITH SPACE ENGINEERS ITSELF AND REMOVED THROUGH MY GUIDE, SINCE STEAM SUPPORT IS SIMPLY UNABLE TO HELP.

I may load some pictures if that ever happens to me again, so you have to keep with this text-only guide right now.

Please drop a rating, so this guide can be pushed into the higher ranks.

You need to know the ID of the DELETED mod
you can get it if you click on "Open in Workshop" in the mod-selection screen, with the mod selected you want to unsub. A overlay browser should appear with the error message that the author deleted the mod. The ID is at the end of the link in the address bar of the overlay browser. If you don't get the overlay working, disable all the other overlaying programms (e.g. Fraps, TeamViewer and so on) first.
How to UnSub a DELETED Mod
  1. Go to the "Subscribed Items" section of the Workshop.
  2. Open a source code editor on a 'UnSub' button of any mod.
    It may look like this:
    <div id="Subscription304787878" class="workshopItemSubscription"> <div class="subscriptionControls"> <a id="UnsubscribeItemBtn304787878" class="general_btn unsubscribe" href="javascript:UnsubscribeItem( '304787878', '244850' );"></a></div> <div class="workshopItemPreviewHolderFloatLeft"></div> <div class="workshopItemSubscriptionDetails"></div> <div style="clear:left"></div></div> <script> SharedFileBindMouseHover( "Subscription304787878", true, {"id":"304787878","title":"Auxiliary Connector Pack","description":"This mod add to the game a set of improved connector block. The first block feature a new 1x1x1 small block connector along a low profile 1x1x1 large block connector. The second block feature an upgraded original Connector block coupled with my 1x3x3 smal","user_subscribed":true,"user_favorited":false,"played":false,"appid":244850} ); </script>
  3. Now you replace the IDs with the ID of your mod which you want to unsub:
    <div id="Subscription318463764" class="workshopItemSubscription"> <div class="subscriptionControls"> <a id="UnsubscribeItemBtn318463764" class="general_btn unsubscribe" href="javascript:UnsubscribeItem( '318463764', '244850' );"></a></div> <div class="workshopItemPreviewHolderFloatLeft"></div> <div class="workshopItemSubscriptionDetails"></div> <div style="clear:left"></div></div> <script> SharedFileBindMouseHover( "Subscription318463764", true, {"id":"318463764","title":"Auxiliary Connector Pack","description":"This mod add to the game a set of improved connector block. The first block feature a new 1x1x1 small block connector along a low profile 1x1x1 large block connector. The second block feature an upgraded original Connector block coupled with my 1x3x3 smal","user_subscribed":true,"user_favorited":false,"played":false,"appid":244850} ); </script>
  4. Now click on the UnSub Button and the modified entry should dissappear, reload and the entry should re-appear. You just UnSubbed the deleted mod, to make sure: reload the mod selection screen in-game.

It still works. I was having this problem for a year and was done with it but miraculously i found out your guide
Even steam support was useless in this matter.
So THANK YOU VERY MUCH :meatytears:
