Products showing as uninstalled

So I have previously downloaded & installed my entire ridiculously-large library via DIM.  Everything is where installed as 'intended' which is to say it's an enormous mess with files that are not remotely where you'd think they belong, but more to the point, I haven't broken any installed files.  I even do all my own work in a separate content library.  (IE, I install to "My Library" and then there's a folder at the same level called "My Work" and anything I create goes in there, which is a separate content library in Daz.  That's primarily so I can backup my work without backing up all the terabytes of stuff I can theoretically download again, but it also means that my library is *exactly* as Daz intended, or at least as the PAs did.

I even put freebies and content obtained from other sites than Daz in a third library called, helpfully "Other Sites".  That's largely so I can be more sure that things that might not have the same license terms are clear.

Never (previously) logged in to Studio because I hated the mess it makes of the library.

Purchased Turbo Loader, and thus logged into Daz so it could theoretically update metadata and grab the product names in a manner that Turbo Loader can find them.

Now I'm seeing random uninstalled products.  Huh, I say, are those connect only products?  I didn't think those were connect only products.

So I investigate a couple.  No.  They are not connect only products. They say they install via DIM.  Go search DIM for it.  I have saved (at this point) all my installer files.

Product is installed, according to DIM.  So search specifically for that SKU inside Studio.  Sure enough, there's the product, twice, once installed from DIM, once not installed.

Uninstall and reinstall via DIM.  No change, still two versions.

Curiouser and curioser: If I open up the manifest, it shows a global ID the same as the uninstalled version, not the same as the installed version, which was installed, theoretically, from DIM, recorded via that manifest.

How can I clean up my library and get rid of these phantom duplicates that will put Daz Connect garbage on my computer if I accidentally click one (and give me duplicate files and god only knows what weirdass side effects)?

Have you tried uninstalling them from within Daz Studio? I think if you uninstall them from DIM then it will only remove what it knows about and so if Daz Connect has a log of something that will remain and hang around to continue to cause grief when you re-install.

Not used Turbo Loader but did have duplicates that I purged by uninstalling them all from DS (and them removing one of the config folders for good measure) before reinstalling from the saved zip file in DIM.

Since the product was installed by DIM, I don't seem have an uninstall option inside Studio.  I've never installed anything via Connect.
