As said in the title.... i am looking for a way to erase Daz 3D from my system (in order to reinstall it clean).
I used an uninstaller program (revo uninstaller) on intense mode to get rid of all traces the program may have left... but that was not the case. problems with the program started after update to ver. 4.21. I couldn'd acess my assets on my external drive anymore and the Interface changed a little too.
But... after several re-installations i still had the same filepath and scenes available which should have been deleted. I also de-installed Daz Central but same shit there.... all things that should have been erased is still there. So my question: How can i definetly uninstall Daz? Any uninstall program you could advise?
Thanks in advance

BCUninstaller. It will even list programs / leftovers that don't have an uninstaller or have trace registry paths. Also it's FOSS-FreeOpenSourceSoftware. Otherwise Iobit(Not recommended) but last resort.

If you still can't get rid of the problem Another method is to download reinstall Daz with "install with trace" (I think revo also has that feature) option, it will log all the registry changes. Then do uninstall from there.

Or just open windows regedit & search for the file name/path & manually delete that registry key.

Don't forget to uninstall DazPostgreSQL CMS too.

In Windows explorer go to the address bar type in %appdata% this will take you to the folder where programs store settings. You will see a folder named DAZ, that is where the interface settings are stored (and a few other things). Also, some of the settings are stored in the Windows registry (accessible via Start->regedit ) under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DAZ\Studio4 (the list of runtimes and other settings). Caution is advised of course, and also remember to backup the folder in case you want it later (copy it somewhere ) and the registry key (you can do that by selecting the key named DAZ on the left and then export as registration entries (reg).
