Title: BitsharesX wallet uninstall and fresh install
Post by: ddepker on August 26, 2014, 06:26:26 pm

I installed the BitsharesX wallet on my computer a month or so ago.
I then installed the latest version today. I have some unregistered accounts and have not sent any BTSX or anything else to my wallet.

I want to uninstall and re-install with a completely fresh installation. The problem is that when I uninstall everything appears to be deleted (the folder in program files). However, when I install after uninstalling it still pulls up all my old unregistered accounts and still have my password.

How do I get rid of all the old data when uninstalling, so that I will have a brand new installation.
The Bitshares folder in program files is deleted, but it is pulling my old info from somewhere, I just dont know where.

Thank you.

the uninstall procedure does only delete the binaries ... not the user data ...
they are stored in %APPDATA%  afaik... no windows specialist here though

That's right.  Go to \Users\username\AppData\Roaming and you'll see the BitShares X folder
