How do I flush out Daz Connect stuff?

So when I was young and foolish and started using DS, I installed a few things with Daz Connect. One thing I installed was the Implications pose set by Ironman13. Now, that set is sitting there in Daz Connect, but not in my Smart Content. I have a couple of characters and clothing items installed there as well, but they do appear in my Smart Content.
Long story short, I would like to remove all the stuff I installed with Daz Connect, so I can load it with DIM the same way as the bulk of my items.
There are also some items I see occasionally greyed out that I suppose were available when last I connected, but didn't download at the time. I'd like to remove that, as well. I just don't like Daz Connect.
Thank you.

Not appearing in Smart Content would not be related to using Connect to sntall - anything installed via Connect will have meatadata. I assume the products do show up elsewhere?
Greyed-out products are not isntalled at all, according to the database. If you have greyed-out products that are installed (in a way that would add them to the database) and products thata re installed with Connect which are not showing then it soudsnas if there is an issue with the database.
The structure of each product is pretty much the same: there is a data file in the Data folder with the Connect files that is , probably a texture folder in the Texture folder, and three files that contain the product name and end in dsa, dsx, and jpg in the runtime>support folder. if you delete those, the product is gone. You can use the product readme in the website's help section (along with the product number) to find the exact names of those files and folders.
Connect installs go in /Data/cloud/1_SKU, where SKU is the five digit number from the product page - each product gets its own folder, there's no need to hunt (though they should be in thedatabase and just deleting them will cause issues if so).
Just note the SKU numbers in the Cloud folder, then go to the Smart Content Tab>Products and enter SKU::<SKU Number> to display the product. Select it, right click and select uninstall to delete the product.
When installing with DIM, you can bee line to the product by also entering SKU::<SKU Number> in DIM's search box.
Thanks. I've done this, but their ghosts remain. Is there any way to get rid of them?
What do you men by ghosts; if you mean you see a greyed out version in the content library or Smart Content, that is a placeholder that you own the product but haven't installed it yet. Please clarify.
Yes, that is what I mean. How do I get rid of them? I own lots of products. I don't want these things cluttering my screen.
Install the file via DIM and it goes away; it is just telling you that you own it but haven't installed it.
