Does verifying integrity of game files delete mods?

Verifying game integrity usually doesn't delete mods installed via mod managers or placed in separate folders, as it only checks original game files; however, it will replace manually installed mods that overwrite core game files, restoring them to their vanilla state, and may require reinstallation of tools like SKSE or ENB, so backing up your mod folder and reinstalling such tools after verification is often recommended.

Will I lose game progress if I clear the cache?

No, clearing an app's or game's cache generally does not delete your progress; it just removes temporary files that help the game load faster, so the first launch after clearing might be slower. Game progress (saves, levels, achievements) is stored separately as data or on a server, but if you clear "data" (not just cache), that will reset the game to factory settings, wiping saves from the device. Always double-check you're only selecting "Clear Cache," not "Clear Data," to protect your progress.
