Error parsing fomod info.xml - Issue Caused due to Power Cut #1305

Hello. I was in the process of installing dyndolod, using this guide( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=encZYHEeQrQ&t=1s ), when I had a powercut.

I had already downloaded the "DynDOLOD Resources SE 3.00" Mod ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52897?tab=files&file_id=425264&nmm=1 ) for SkyrimSE (1.5.97) and installing mod when my PC abruptly shut down due to a Power Cut (In India, power cuts you). When I reopened NNM, I got a notification stating that NMM was unable to load this particular mod, which disappeared when I removed the mod and the install info xml file. However, I still cant reinstall the file from Nexus.

I guess this is because NMM also installed all my mods directly into my Skyrim SE game folder....and yes DynDOLOD files are present there. (PS, would be great if NMM could only install in one folder, as it is currently occupying 10GB extra SDD space due to duplicate files present both in the Mod FOlder as well as the Original Game Folder. Will Manually removing each file from the Game Folder Help and is it safe for the Game's Integrity? Should I let those files just sit in the Games Folder? Will this cause any issues?

Latest NMM version (0.85) Mod : DynDOLOD Resources SE 3.00 ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52897?tab=files&file_id=425264&nmm=1 )

Please remember to attach any trace logs you get in connection to this problem. Without these it will often be very hard to track down the bug. - How to do dis? Where are the Trace Logs located? Is it the Install Logs located in the Install Info File?

I won't recommend re-creating the issue, as I am still not sure if the problem is being caused by Hard-disk corruption(among other things XD), but if you must, just pull the plug on your PC while the mod is still Downloading.

Also what Additional information can I provide to help? PS, this Mod isn't completely necessary, I just don't want the residual files to corrupt any other game files.
