I just want to know where the user data for Content Directory Manager is saved? I removed %AppData% (C:\Users\Mehdi\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D) compleletly, but those path configurations are still there. where this data stored?
Removing using UI or script is not my concern, I just want to know where this configuration is saved in my system. Registry maybe?

    If you mean the paths to the content directories, yes IIRC they're in registry

    The active folders are in the registry for Windows, the stored directory sets (if any) are in

    %AppData%/DAZ 3D/Studio4 <release_channel>/ContentDirectoryManager.dsx

    for Windows.

    I removed entire folder, but added custom path are still exist, next time,

    I just checked, I found some entries under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DAZ\Studio4" which seem to fit what I have setup in DS4 general release: they're called "ContentDir0", "ContentDir1"... for DS content and "PoserDir0", "PoserDir1"... for Poser content.

    Great! Thanks!

    Removing it would have removed any content directory sets listed in the Content Diirectory Manager,  but it would not have touched the active directory settings - those are the ones in the registry. As with layouts, DS doesn't track which saved set (if any) it is using - it just applies the saved settings when told to, and then keeps them as current settings subject to change without tracking their source.
