How to delete useless product from your account?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hi everyone :D

Has ever happened to you to add to your account useless freebies just because they were free? Now I have dozens of those useless textures/background and old stuff, and as my product library grows it becomes harder and harder to keep it in order.

So, is there a way to remove those products from my account by myself?

Thank you!

    No but if you use DIM to download you can set them to hidden.

    That's true, thank you! :D

    Well I can't use DIM...I have OCD (it's a disease, sadly), and that logo on the upper right corner of the products when you install them with DIM bothers me a lot :'(

    ??? There's no need to delete anything from one's account, but you can delete anything from your Content Library as if you click on anything "delete" is an option in the menu, just as it is in My Library, Scenes & Scene Subsets. I've never wanted to delete anything from my Content Library as yet, but you must also be able to delete anything you don't want from your Daz folders. I've only ever deleted from my Scenes & Scene Subsets folders, so if I'm wrong somebody please correct me.

    I know that ;)

    When you format your PC, you want to reinstall everything you need, and if your librabry contains a lot of useless stuff, it becomes a mess! Instead of doing "CTRL+A", right click and "Install", you have to examine each single product.

    If you delete something from your Content Library in DS, I think the textures/geometry/etc still remain on your hard drive. I can't say for sure, but that's been my experience. For all intents & purposes, the product is gone, you won't see it. But the files still exist so if you worry about hard drive clutter, that'll be an issue.

     What Logo? I don't have any DIM logo on product thumbnails in the content library.

    I know that, that's not what I've asked, but thank you anyway! :)

    If you're logged in in Daz Studio and you install something with Daz Install Manager, the thumbnail in Smart Content will have a logo on the upper right corner.

    No prob. I just thought I'd warn you. I know having files that are there, but I've lost track of, drives me crazy.

    You're confusing DIM with Daz Connect. DIM is a separate app. I install everything via DIM, and have no icon when viewed through smart content.

    I'm not confusing them, I know what Daz Connect and DIM are :)

    If you're using Daz Connect and you're logged in here's what you see when you install something with DIM:

    I believe that icon means that the product is available to be installed via connect. Since you installed it with DIM, connect assumes it's not installed. For me, those icons don't show up until I log in to connect, which I never bother doing as I never download items using it. Even upon reverting to "work offline" mode, the icons persisted until I reset my CMS database and reimported my metadata. 

    If you never log in to connect, you'll never see those icons, nor the items you don't have installed.

    I know that too :)

    I have to choose what to install because I don't have much sace, and it would take ages to do so with DIM, without even a thumbnail.

    Switch from Products to Files and the symbol will go away.

    Thank you but I use both according to the situation, and that's not exactly how OCD works ;)

    I have thought about asking Daz3d to remove products in my online product library that are useless to me.  I, too, would get something because it's free.  Now, i am more deligent about that.  I have a huge Excel sheet and I a lot of information about each product.

    I don't want to look at some free textures for an outfit I never purchased.  I want it removed from my online product library.  I have OCD, as well.

    @Jan_Scrapper "I want it removed from my online product library."

    You don't have to install everything in your online content library.

    @TGFan4

    Neither of you are going to get around uninstalling / deleting the individual content items that you don't want to see. No one will be able to determine that for you.

    Thank you fastbike1, but we've already explained this situation in the previous post!

    Even if you don't install one product, it will always remain in front of your eyes, and you'll have to lose time examining it the next time you'll reinstall your library.
