What files do I need to delete to fresh install DS3A/DS4 through DIM

Joltrast

I accidentally moved smart content and a bunch of other stuff to my runtime folder (on a separate drive) and now everything is messed up. I'm missing morphs and all sorts of things. Uninstalling and re-installing DAZ just seems to put my current copy back.

I've read somewhere that you need to removed additional files in order for DAZ to load as a fresh install, but I can't find a complete list.
Does anyone have this written down somewhere or is able to point me to a website or video that lists them please?

Many thanks
I'm running Win 7/64bit.

Uninstalling and reinstalling won't change your settings -- you need to go to Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager and change the paths under DAZ Studio Formats and Poser Formats to the new location. After that, if you have custom categories or metadata, Export User Data. Then, reset the database and re-import metadata.

I already had Daz pointing to my new content folder.
I uninstalled AppData folders for both DAZ3A and DAZ4, (this was the information I was missing), but the smart content was still messed up, so I reset that and rebuilt the metadata. That seems to have fixed everything. Thanks!

I also learnt something about smart content and metadata, so I worthwhile headache!

Most folks over look the DB, it will need a rebuild for every move. That step is not so obvious.

EDIT: AppData and ProgramData pointers are normally rebuilt on a change but not always. So clearing them should become normal on the newer OS's for clean installs if moving things. If nothing moves they can be left alone.
