    Igf you really want to clear all content uninstall the content, to remove what you can, then in the Content Library option menu select Content DB Maintenance, check Reset Database, and click Accept, then clear all the content diectories by right-clicking on them in the Content Library under the ... Formats headings, and finally delete the folders on disc.

    K didn't really understand any of that. Is there a step by step approach with images or something?

    Not really. You could clean install Windows but that's likely to run 1 - 3 days depending on how many serial numbers, email addresses, web site log ins, and who knows what you have to deal with setting up your clean install. Now an eviable task (well unless you are getting paid at work then it's a safely boring task most of the time).

    Otherwise,

    1) Go into Deinstall Program in Windows & deinstall EVERYTHING that has DAZ in the name after closing DAZ, DIM, Bryce, Hexagon, ....

    2) Reboot

    3) Then use Windows File Explorer to go to C:/Programs Files/ and delete all directories that begin with DAZ in the name

    4) Same but go to C:/Program Files (x86)/ and delete all directories that begin with DAZ

    5) cd to C:/Users/<Your User Name>/AppData/Roaming and delete the directory DAZ 3D

    6) cd to C:/Users/Public/Public Documents and delete the DAZ 3D directory (deletes everything about the files you downloaded via the DIM install manager so maybe you don't want to delete so you don't have to re-download all your DAZ downloadable products).

    7) Reboot (but you really don't need to this time).

    8) There is probably DAZ stuff in the Windows registry but it won't affect you doing a clean install of DAZ.

    9) Reinstall all that DAZ stuff how you like.
