[SOS] A way to completely uninstall DAZ to reinstall fresh new

Nearly four days that I'm battling with Daz Studio's installation (Daz 4.10) and my patience is running thin, seriously. So far, just installing the content won't work, I get errors, when I do the frigging updates Daz crash, when I do mass offline install since DIM & Connect crash Daz Studio, well... Daz crash on that too.

As a last stand, after having tried all the damn methods out there, and filled a ticket that might be answered (or not? in days) I'd like to do a completely fresh install, and try to get my content completely anew (I really don't want to have to reinstall my PC to see if it's working or not....)  but I guess I'll have to do so if I can't find a way to remove everything, including all of those files who hides in every corner, everywhere in the computer.

I feel like the 4.7 that was in place when I left DAZ's world for a while was definitely much more stable.

So if anyone knows of a way to completely clean DAZ & DIM from the computer, so that I can really use a completely fresh install, please, let me know.

    I tried to do this once years back when i decided I wanted to download the previous version of DAZ over a newer one. Be warned, it was a complete disaster.

    Thank you for the warning. I guess that they really don't want us to be able to have an easy way out of their product. Between the difficulties to have a different hard drive for content, and the difficulty to make a clean uninstall, that's really annoying. When things go wrong you are really left with little choice. 

    I reinstalled my windows this night, I hope it will go well today.

    You need to unhide AppData folder so you can delete all DAZ Studio related folders inside Roaming.  Program Data folder often has Studio related folders also, nuke them too.  Lastly you will need to run  a registry cleaner like CCleaner (free download) and reboot computer.

    Deleting stuff wholesale is a good way to break things (in general, not just DS). You can clear the content paths in Edit>Preferences>Content tab>Content Directory Manager, you can reset the layout via Window>Workspace>Select Layout.
