How to rapidly delete My Daz3d Library?

Long story, I had to delete, My Daz3d Library, but the IM thinks the files are still there, I do not see any way to purge the orphan installed list.

So, I must wait while it thinks it is uninstalling 13,000+ assets.

Any solution?

Some of the files uninstall fast but some of them sit there for minutes trying to uninstall.

DIM relys on Manifest Archive to show Installed products. In DIM > Advance Settings > Installation > Manifest Archive. You can find all DSX files that're used for showing Installed. Move or delete the DSX files or assign another empty folder, Installed will be gone in DIM > Installed tab.

Besides, as for rapid deletion: Instead of uninstalling products in DIM or deleting the root directory, if your My Daz3d Library is the only folder on its dedicated disk, better directly format the disk (choose Fast Format). It's the fastest way that usually takes less than 1 min.  Make sure you really don't need to back it up before doing so.

If there're other folders on that disk and there're much less files in the folders, then move those folders to other disk before formatting the disk.

Final step, reset cms database in Content DB Maintenance.

But I'm out of curiosity, why do you want to delete your My Daz3d Library ?

Comment: I renamed the manifest and added a blank manifest folder in place of it and no more tedious uninstall routine! YAY! Thanks Crosswind!
