Now it's been years since I messed with modded Oblivion but I remember the process for Oblivion being a little cumbersome...
Run tes4edit
Select none, then select only the ESP to clean
Right-click, apply filter
I remember a window with like a million checkboxes, had to pick the right checkboxes
Right-click ESP, UDR
Wait for countdown to finish before being able to hit Ok button
Right-click again, ITM
Close tes4edit
Back to first step, repeat for all ESPs
(I'm just cleaning the official mods; no user mods)
