Uninstallation

If you're only using this retexture then remove Trips' Old Shader Pack, Player and NPC - Old Shaders, Companions - Old Shaders from BG3 Mod Manager and then visit your Baldur's Gate 3 folder. Open Data and delete Generated folder. If you are using other textures, then I recommend to replace our textures with the textures that came with Player and NPC - Old Shaders and Companions - Old Shaders. Make sure when you are replacing textures that you are not replacing retextures from other modders if you still want to use them.

Troubleshooting
The best course of action if you face issues is often to verify your game files. In this instance, since the textures are loose, they should not pose any issues, but I can't be 100% sure since I haven't face any problems myself. If I encounter any bugs or issues I will report them here so you're all aware.
