Can you remove dead stuff from settlements?

My co op has all the dead gouals.

My red rocket place has a dead death claw. At the entrance.

Anyway to remove them? Im ps4 btw

Not without console commands, which ya can only do on PC, dead bodies naturally despawn after some time.

The ghouls no, if they were dead when you arrived chances are they are going to persist (I've tried carrying them out and dropping them outside the settlement, then I tried carrying them to somewhere more discrete inside the settlement, I tired redistributing their constituent molecules with explosives, I even tried turning them into paste with a ripper and cremating the remains with a flamer all to no avail), if you killed the deathclaw it should foxtrot Oscar in its own time.

The only bodies that I never see despawn are the raider and dog bodies just across the bridge from Sanctuary. Those seem to stay forever (unless you are on PC and disable them).

I imagine that other bodies that are 'placed' in the game may also have the same issue since they are meant to stay there until the player finds them.

Ah bugger

I forget which settlement it was but I killed a bunch of ghouls to claim it. I tried dragging the bodies out into the woods. When I came back they were all back in their original spot. I gave up after a couple times of trying to clear it out. So now I just put stuff on top of them. Nothing like seeing an arm poking out from under a bed.

Mod will likely allow for console players to gain access to the commands that PC players can use to clean up dead bodies (and other things) in the game. I just hope console players realize how potentially dangerous using such tools can be and preform proper saves before trying to use them. PC players using mods and console commands should know better, but those things are going to be new territory for PS4 and Xbox One players.

Just add the system in work shop to remove em. Prob be safe

Does anyone else have one at the co-op in one of the cabins that comes back to life? it just lays there like the rest but it you point at it you won't get the take box then it jumps up like it was just sleeping or something. I have even let it chase be out side and had the settlers kill it 3 or 4 times now but it just keeps coming back.

The short answer is yes; the longer answer is not always.

For normal sized bodies, like ghouls and non-power armored humans, you can move the bodies by standing close to them, facing them with the crosshairs, and holding down the interact button for a little bit (for PC, it's "E"). Fair warning though, sometimes they get caught on something and there's nothing you can do.

For power armor enemies, you're super boned. They're too heavy to move. However, for bigger enemies, like the deathclaw, you could try shooting off it's limbs and head and moving each piece separately. That might work; you might also need the Bloody Mess perk /shrug

You can try dragging them by holding X button while you're 'targeting' empty-handedly at them.

But you only can move light stuff like human, etc. Deathclaw won't be able to be lifted because too heavy.

Take note that some corpses will come back to its original spot. But I've been cleaning some corpses with it so far.

They repawn back.

I had to clear a settlement named sunshine tiddings or something like that, when I arrived it was full of ferals I had to kill. But when I was building the settlement I noticed they never dissapeared so I started to dump them in the bathroom, and I built a huge pile of corpses, all the enemies that died inside my settlements were thrown in there.

Now I was going to show you a pic of my huge pile of corpses but guess what? they are gone, so I supose they will dissapear eventually for you too, not sure how long though, maybe after several days I am pretty sure they were in my game for weeks.

I had an issue with a particular mole rat corpse in Red Rocket that for some reason was too heavy for me to move (even though none of the others were a problem). People assured me that it would go away, but I was convinced I was stuck with it forever. It finally disappeared, but only after a very long time (probably about 50-72 hrs of real-time gameplay), and only after I stayed away from that whole section of the map for a while. I was fast-traveling back to Red Rocket regularly to dump stuff in the beginning, but once I stopped using Red Rocket and Sanctuary for a while (after I cleared a different settlement that was a bit more centrally located, I used that), that is when I noticed that the corpse went away. So that is my suggestion. Stay away from the areas with the corpses for a long time, and play a lot elsewhere. They should go away eventually, particularly if they exist because you killed them (ie. aren't a dead body that was there to begin with when you first encountered them). If it was already there when you got to the location (you or your companion or another settler, etc didn't shoot it), then sometimes you may be stuck with it.
