Need to totally uninstall Studio 4.12

cwlcak_994ef1dab6

I have pretty much messed up my current install to the point of constant hang-ups and taking up to 20 minutes to load G8F.  I won't get into how, but I just want to reinstall from scratch.    Is there a way to completely uninstall my current version of Studio?  Can I just use the Control Panel uninstall?  I want everything gone except my uninstalled content backup files, which I will reinstall after I get  clean version up and running.  There is no uninstall program that I could find in my DAZ folder, but I have it spread across two drives so I might have missed it.

 

TIA

You'll likely need to uninstall DIM and Postgres but all should be doable from the control panel.

use bulk crap uninstaller, it will find all the left over registry keys and files

Uninstalling DS will not fix your content problems.

This. Might need to reinstall your content also.

Note that it might not be an actual content problem, but a content database problem — things have improved since the early days, but the database still occasionally goes <clunk> and starts doing weird stuff. In which case, reinstalling content might not fix things either. Remember that the content database files are stored separately from both the program and content locations, precisely so that they can be preserved through uninstalling/reinstalling stuff. The database controls, including the one to nuke the database and start again, are in the Options menu of the Content Library tab.
