Removing models from FMS

[DaveAZ]

Hi,

I have FMS working on Vista and everything is working fine except that I can't seem to delete some addon models. I had downloaded a bunch of models into the model directory and now I want to remove some I dont' use that often. I tried:

1) deleting the models from the models directory (while FMS was closed) and restarting FMS,

2) deleting them and uninstalling FMS, deleting the FMS directory, and rebooting and doing a fresh install

3) doing all of #2 and also removing the FMS entry from the Registry

In all cases, when I reinstall and start up FMS it somehow is remembering all the models I've ever installed into it. The models I removed don't appear in the Models directory any longer but when I select the Models menu they are all there and are all working.

Is there some other file that these models get loaded into or something like that? I tried looking under the Apps Data directory but couldn't find anything there. Maybe it's in a temp directory somewhere??

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks,

Dave

DaveAZ, I believe you are running into an artifact from Win7.

Assuming you are running Win7, it copies all the files in the \Program Files\ directory to what is called a "shadow" directory. So, perhaps you would need to delete the models in both places.

If you do not have Win7, this is certainly a weird happening.

This problem I described above is on a laptop running original Vista (no SP1 or SP2 upgrade). At some point I'll try another uninstall and then search the file system to see if fms.exe is still stored elsewhere.

Anyone else seeing this?
