Should I uninstall completely and start from scratch?

I have been having a fair amount of issues with Daz Studio and purchased items not installing or even showing up as an option to be installed.

Most recently, I purchased the Kayo Pro Bundle and installed it. It worked fine at first and then disappeared from my character list along with almost all of my character content. When I select the option from Daz central to install it, it tells me that it has been installed but is still not in my content folders. I receive an error message stating that the Kayo content is missing with a link to download it. The download and install option does not work. I mean, why would it? Instead, I have to manually download it and re-install it in the correct folder. Although that might seem simple enough, I would have to repeat this step with 100+ items in my assets folder in order to add them all.

Beyond that, Skin Builder 8 is not showing up in my asset folder in Daz Central. Can this be retrieved some other way? When I try to add it to my cart, it wants me to pay a second time. What's an extra 50 bucks, right? I have so many items purchased from this site, that I don't even know if that is the only one missing.

From Daz Central, I have also been receiving occasional alerts that I do not have Daz Studio. This is obviously incorrect.

Am I missing an easy solution to get back on track or is it best to delete Daz Studio, Daz Central, the install manager, and associated folders so I can start from scratch? Obviously, that is not appealing but I am very frustrated. I understand that the software is free, but the assets are far from it.

Help me out here. I appreciate any advice moving forward on this issue.

Just because wiping and starting form scratch strikes me as a nuclear option, but if you don't have much content, then might be best.

Is it possible to uninstall only Daz Central? (I've avoided that one as I read on these forums of folks having issues with it.)

I don't know if it's possible, but I imagine you can uninstall using DIM?

Start install manager (Not studio, don't have both open at the same time)

Go to the installed tab, find Daz Central, Click uninstall

Then the next step redownload through DIM content.that is missing.

Easy one first - Daz Central isn't saying you don't have the Daz Studio application installed, it's saying you don't have all the add-ons which it is set to install as a package.

For the rest, it sounds like issues with content directories - where is your content installled, and whata re your current content directories inside DS (Edit>Preferences>Content tab, click the Content Directory Manager button)?

I'm guessing that you're having issues with smart content? Have you checked the Content Library tab?

The issue is I'm not 100% sure that uninstalling DS will get rid of the DB that stores the Smart Content info.
